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

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