About the Item
An 1890s 14K gold snake ring adorned with a 3,4 x3,8 mm faceted oval ruby.
Size us 6,5.
Weight 3,1 grams
Health, wisdom, eternity, everlasting love or venomous prowess? The serpent has had many meanings and long been a powerful symbol. Mother nature have been inspiring designers since the beginning. And no wonder.
Ladies of the European nobility wore snakes as brooches, bracelets, necklaces and finger rings. By the beginning of the 19th century long snake collars were being worn. Queen Victoria was given a snake ring by her fiancé Albert to mark their engagement.
The serpent wound its way through the 19th century jewelry as an amulet, a talisman, as a good luck charm and symbol of enduring love.
