The snake is a symbol that has carried many meanings since ancient times. The un-ending circle the snake forms was an emblem for eternity and even eternal love throughout the Victorian era. Indeed, Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria with an engagement ring, in the image of a snake with an emerald-set head. For Victoria, the snake was symbol of eternal love, making her betrothal ring the ultimate token of happily-ever-after. Our 18K yellow gold Victorian snake ring (circa 1880) features a lively row of Old Mine cut diamonds, (approx 0.70 ctw) and two tiny rose cut ruby eyes. We love the graceful smoothness of this piece. This sleek ring would make a wonderfully sentimental and chic engagement ring or statement ring for a sentimental 21st century gal!
