Victorian 18ct Gold Snake Ring set with a Ruby & a Diamond

766Y

A beautiful 18ct gold double snake ring that was assayed in London in 1883.  It is well modelled and each of the snake’s heads have been set with a ruby and a diamond.  The snake motif in antique jewellery represented “Eternal love and wisdom”, so pieces such as this ring would have been a gift from an admirer or would have been given as an engagement ring.

It is as appropriate today to give to a loved one as it was in the late 1800s.
