Written by Olly Gerrish

A well modelled 18ct gold coiled snake ring that has been claw set with a small old mine cut diamond and two ruby eyes. It was assayed in Chester in 1895.

A snake ring symbolises eternal love and is a lovely sentiment to wear on one’s finger either as an engagement ring or a dress ring.
