Book Your Virtual ConsultationMid 20th Century 18ct Gold & Platinum, Stylised Double Snake Ring set with a Ruby, Aquamarine & Diamonds
№ 342Y
An unusual and impressive 18ct gold ring with a platinum top that was made circa 1950-1960. It is composed of two pear shaped sections, one set with a pear shaped ruby and diamonds, the other set with an aquamarine and diamonds. It resembles two stylised snakes in an embrace. Snakes featured heavily in the myths of ancient Greece and Rome. They were reviled for their ability to shed their skin, meaning that they were seen as a symbol of regeneration and rebirth. This association with regeneration and fertility suggests links to the Victorian connotations between snakes and eternal love.
This ring is a relatively modern take on an ancient symbol.
