About the Item
Here we have a stunning double snake ring dating back to the Victorian period. Crafted from 18ct rose gold, this ring features two snake heads, one of which is set with an oval faceted medium-blue sapphire whilst the other is set with a round cabochon ruby. Each of these precious gemstones are flanked on either side and accentuated by a round faceted old European cut diamond.
The ring is excellently made and boasts fabulous attention to detail, particularly with the engraving work where we find piercing eyes and scaly coiled tails before being finished with a double banded shank.
This chic statement piece is suitable for both men and women.
Snake rings became extremely popular during the Victorian era, so much so in fact they were continually produced beyond this period and were often worn with a serpent style bangle, brooch, or hatpin.
The snake ring peaked in popularity when Queen Victoria opted for a gold snake design set with rubies, diamonds, and an emerald for her engagement ring; a particularly unusual style. As time wore on, snake jewellery and other Ancient Egypt inspired pieces (such as insect jewellery) came into fashion due to influences on Britain from the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
