About the Item
Early Victorian-era snake ring, crafted in 18K yellow gold and styled in a coiled serpent design—symbolising eternal love and protection. The snake’s body wraps elegantly around the finger, with the head and tail meeting at the top in a graceful loop.
The central feature is a deep crimson cabochon ruby, estimated at approximately 3.50 carats, bezel-set and framed by a halo of 30 old mine-cut diamonds. The diamonds continue along the serpent’s winding form, set into the gold with charming irregularity that highlights their hand-cut nature. Two tiny ruby cabochons form the snake’s eyes, enhancing the lifelike character and symbolism of the design.
This finely balanced piece is rich in both historical and emotional significance—serpent rings of this kind were made popular in the 1830s when Prince Albert gifted Queen Victoria a snake engagement ring.
Comes with WGI certificate.
