Victorian 18ct Double Snake Ring set with Coral & A Natural Split Pearl

346X
124 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautiful 18ct gold double snake ring that was made in Birmingham in 1879.  It is well modelled unlike some snake rings that we come across. In each of the snake’s heads is a coral and a natural split and the eyes are little gold bobbles.   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 1890s.
