Antique Gold and Diamond Double Snake Ring with London Hallmarks
About the Item
An antique gold bypass ring in the form of two coiled serpents with diamond-set heads, in 18k. London, UK hallmarks
The serpent motif in jewelry reached a feverish level of popularity after Prince Albert
gave a snake engagement ring to Queen Victoria. The snake in this
case signified eternal love. But snake jewelry dates back to ancient times. For the Egyptians, the creature represented royalty and the divine; for the Greeks, the full circle formed by a serpent eating its tail - the ouroboros, which literally means "tail-devourer" - evoked the circle of life. Snake jewelry continues to make a striking statement, and many pieces feature eyes or
foreheads encrusted with gemstones (Albert went with emeralds).
