About the Item

Victorian Blue Enamel and Old Mine Cut Diamond Snake Wrap Bracelet C.1880 Though it may come as a surprise to some, the snake is one of history’s most enduring symbols of eternal love. Images of Aphrodite have long depicted the goddess of love adorned with serpents. It is for this reason that Prince Albert chose to present Queen Victoria with an engagement ring in the shape of a snake in 1939. The first British queen to be seen regularly outside the confines of the castle, Victoria is often considered to be one of the world’s first trendsetters. Her wedding alone had a long-lasting influence on bridal fashion throughout England. But — as is often the case — it was the engagement ring that captured the attention of all. Shaped into the body of a snake that coiled twice around the finger with an emerald (the Queen’s birthstone) embedded in its head, the ring effectively ignited the era’s passionate love affair with serpentine jewelry. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches all took on bejeweled reptilian form throughout her storied reign, and even found popularity in the Art Nouveau period that followed her death. This exquisite bangle bracelet from the late Victorian period is the sort of piece that might have been made with Aphrodite herself in mind as the intended wearer. A dazzling mix of 18 karat yellow gold and blue enamel forms the head, body, and tail of the snake, while 3 carats of old mine-cut diamonds replicate its scales and cabochon rubies create the serpents eyes. It is a gorgeous piece of history crafted for a woman with the power of a queen and the passion of a goddess. Additional Information: Period: Victorian Year: c.1880 Material: 18k Yellow Gold, 3.0cts.

18k Yellow Gold Colombian Emerald and Diamond Checkerboard Plaque Ring c.1900. Forged at the very end of the Victorian era, this magnificent plaque ring is as dazzling as an antique treasure can be. Twelve old European cut diamonds (for a total of 1.8 carats) and twelve emerald-cut Colombian emeralds (2 carats in all) form an opulent checkerboard that sits atop an 18-karat yellow gold band. And while this ring seemingly blends visual elements of both Oz and Wonderland, it is undoubtedly a statement ring that found immense adoration twenty years later in the sort of real-life jazz and champagne...
