How Much is a Two Snakes Ring?
Finding the Right rings for You
Antique and vintage rings have long held a special place in the hearts of fine jewelry lovers all over the world.
No matter their origin or specific characteristics, rings are timeless, versatile accessories. They’ve carried deep meaning since at least the Middle Ages, when diamond rings symbolized strength and other kinds of rings were worn to signify romantic feelings or to denote an affiliation with a religious order. Rings have also forever been emblematic of eternity.
Over time, rings have frequently taken the form of serpents, which have long been associated with eternal life, health and renewal. Italian luxury jewelry house Bulgari has become famous for its widely loved Serpenti motif, for example, and its Serpenti ring, like the other accessories in the collection, began as an homage to jewelry of the Roman and Hellenistic eras. The serpent is now a popular motif in fine jewelry. Jewelry devotees have long pined for rings adorned with reptiles, thanks to antique Victorian rings — well, specifically, Queen Victoria’s illustrious engagement ring, which took the form of a gold snake set with rubies, diamonds and an emerald (her birthstone). Designs for Victorian-era engagement rings often featured repoussé work and chasing, in which patterns are hammered into the metal.
Engagement rings, which are reliably intimidating to shop for, are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment. On 1stDibs, a range of buying guides can be found for those in the market for antique engagement rings, vintage engagement rings or Art Deco engagement rings.
The most collectible antique engagement rings and vintage engagement rings are those from the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco eras. Named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who in succession ruled England starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign), antique Georgian rings, be they engagement rings or otherwise, are also coveted by collectors. Pearls, along with colored gemstones like garnets, rubies and sapphires, were widely used in Georgian jewelry. The late-1700s paste jewelry was a predecessor to what we now call fashion or costume jewelry.
The Art Nouveau movement (1880–1910) brought with it rings inspired by the natural world. Antique Art Nouveau rings might feature depictions of winged insects and fauna as well as women, who were simultaneously eroticized and romanticized, frequently with long flowing hair. Art Deco jewelry, on the other hand, which originated during the 1920s and ’30s, is by and large “white jewelry.” White metals, primarily platinum, were favored over yellow gold in the design of antique Art Deco rings and other accessories as well as geometric motifs, with women drawn to the era’s dazzling cocktail rings in particular.
Whether you’re hunting down a chunky classic for a Prohibition-themed cocktail party or seeking a clean contemporary design to complement your casual ensemble, find an exquisite collection of antique, new and vintage rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A snake ring can symbolize eternal love, especially if the snake is depicted as eating its own tail.

- What is a two-stone ring called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A two-stone ring is often called a toi et moi ring. The phrase comes from French and means "you and me." Normally, toi et moi rings have an open design with one stone on each end. When you slip the rings on, the two stones appear side by side. You'll find a variety of toi et moi rings on 1stDibs.
- What is a two tone diamond ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A two-tone ring is a ring constituted of two different metals. The most common combinations are gold and platinum. However, a two-tone ring can feature any combination of yellow, rose, or white gold. Shop a range of antique and vintage two-tone diamond rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023What wearing two wedding rings means is up to individual interpretation. Some people like to sandwich their engagement rings between two bands to represent their promise to marry their spouse now being sealed in place with their vows. Others may receive a second band ring for an anniversary and wear it alongside their wedding ring. It's also possible for two wedding rings to have no special meaning, as some brides wear two for a symmetrical look or to hold their engagement rings in place. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of wedding rings.
