Victorian 18ct Gold, Double Snake Ring with Diamond & Ruby Set Eyes

40 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A well modelled and heavy gage 18ct gold double snake ring that was assayed in London in 1897. The snake’s eyes are diamonds in one snake and rubies in the other. 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 reviled 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. It can be resized, although please note there may be an additional charge to increase by more than three sizes.
