Antique Gold Filled Snake Ring c. 1900

Crafted during the late 19th Century in France, this exquisite Victorian double snake ring is crafted from yellow gold fill. A sinuous serpent elegantly coils around your finger, its head crowned with captivating ruby paste.

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.
