C1820 15K faceted basket set amethyst ring with an ourobouros band

About the Item

Our charming regency period 15K ring consists of a faceted amethyst in a basket setting weighing approximately 1.20 carats set in a 15K gold band of an ourobouros, a snake biting its tail. Since ancient times snakes have been seen as a symbol for “Eternal love” and "Eternal life" so they were and still are often used as wedding rings, commitment rings or engagement rings. Snake rings became popular in England when Queen Victoria received an emerald snake ring as her engagement ring from her beloved Prince Albert. Snake rings were especially popular during the Darwin years when nature was a often source for fashion. Today snake rings are equally popular among both men and women. This ring will fit a 5 3/4 finger.
