The Story

1800's "It Girl", Queen Victoria, strikes again! Snake rings became an enduring symbol of love and commitment following the Queen's engagement to Prince Albert, for which she received a stunning snake ring featuring her birthstone, an emerald. After that, the Victorians (1837-1901) couldn't get enough of sentimental serpentine jewelry. While snake rings generally represented endless love, the coiling patterns, number of snakes, and head direction added even deeper meaning. This snake ring features two entwined snakes rendered in warm 18 karat yellow gold, their heads wrapping in an infinity symbol. Adorning this token of infinite love are a lively Old Mine Cut Diamond and Green Demantoid. This member of the garnet family was discovered in the early 19th century, and was celebrated for its diamond-like sparkle. The use of the snake motif and Demantoid made this ring very on-trend in the 1800's, and its sleek construction makes it extremely wearable and comfortable for it's future modern owner!
