Antique 18K Gold, Ruby and Diamond Double Snake Ring
About the Item
This late Victorian 18K gold double snake ring, set with a diamond and a ruby, was created in England in 1892. It is designed as two engraved snake heads, each with an old European-cut diamond or a circular-cut ruby, completed by their intertwined bodies and tapering tails. Soft and substantial, this nicely modeled twinstone snake ring subtly conveys its happy message of eternal love.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
Led by Queen Victoria herself, England embraced jewelry with snake and serpent imagery in the 19th century after her devoted and erudite husband presented her with a serpent ring as a wedding gift. With the growing fascination for ancient classical culture, and the revelations of the serpent's historical importance as unearthed by celebrated archaeologists, nineteenth century European society eagerly embraced its ancient Roman symbolism connoting eternal love and wisdom. The captivating motif persisted in popularity throughout the century and beyond.
