Crafted during the late 19th Century in France, this exquisite Victorian double snake ring is made from 18-karat solid yellow gold and hallmarked with an eagle head. Two sinuous serpents elegantly coil around your finger, their heads crowned with captivating old European cut diamonds. These serpent heads gracefully meet in a "toi et moi" style, creating a romantic and timeless piece of antique jewelry. The diamonds measure approximately 3 mm across and weigh roughly .1 carats each.
One of the primary meanings associated with Victorian snake rings was eternal love and commitment. Queen Victoria's engagement ring, a serpent with an emerald-set head given to her by Prince Albert in 1839, symbolized everlasting love. They were sometimes set with birthstones or gems with specific symbolic meanings to convey sentiments. Victorian snake rings are still highly sought after by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts for their craftsmanship, beauty, and rich symbolism, serving as a testament to the romantic and sentimental nature of the era.
CONDITIONS NOTES:
