This hand-crafted yellow gold coil snake ring dates to the mid-Victorian period (c. 1850-1870) and is set with Old European cut diamonds along the head and eyes of the snake.
"Queen Victoria put snake jewellery under the fashion spotlight when her husband-to-be, Prince Albert, bought her a snake engagement ring, with an emerald (her birthstone) embedded into it. The Victorians associated the snake motif with eternal love. The first Queen to be regularly seen out and about, Victoria’s style was emulated throughout the world and you can still find beautiful antique snake rings." - Antique Jewellery Company
