Edwardian 18ct Gold, Platinum & Rose Diamond Snake Ring

532N
40 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 18ct gold ring in the form of a coiled snake. It has two diamond set eyes mounted in platinum and a platinum topped head. The body has been partially engraved. The cult of snake jewellery in the Victorian and Edwardian eras began with Prince Albert proposing to Queen Victoria. The ring given to her was in the image of a snake set with an emerald head. For Victoria the snake embodied eternal love. It was made circa 1900-1910 and is possibly German or Austrian.
