Edwardian 18ct Gold Double Snake Ring with Rose Diamond Eyes

807X
40 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A well modelled 18ct gold double snake ring that was assayed in Birmingham in 1903. Both of the snakes have rose diamond eyes.  Many examples of Victorian snake rings feature two snakes intertwined, suggesting that these pieces were intended as tokens of love and affection. This style would have been worn by both men and women. Snakes featured heavily in the myths of ancient Greece and Rome. They were respected for their ability to shed their skin, meaning that they were seen as a symbol of regeneration and rebirth. This association with regeneration and fertility suggests links to the Victorian connotations between snakes and eternal love.

This ring is a lovely example and can be worn on a daily basis.
