How did you make this work:
I've had this idea for a while where the hidden part of the ring inside the box is a metaphor for the unknown aspects of your partner. I've done versions where it's a bear trap, shackles and the handle of a mop bucket but these didn't sit right with me. The snake worked and I was able to integrate the shine of the ring to merge into the snake's pattern.
