Victorian 18ct Gold Snake Ring set with Two Pear Shaped Rubies

230W
Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautiful 18ct gold double snake ring that was made circa 1890-1900. It is well modelled unlike some snake rings that we come across in that the two snakes are really hugging each other. In each of the snake’s heads is an unusual pear shaped ruby.  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.

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