Snakes have a long and rich history in jewelry dating back to Ancient Greece and Rome, where snakes were used to symbolize wisdom.  The Victorians often used snakes to symbolize everlasting love, with a coiled snake in particular representing eternity. Queen Victoria herself had a snake ring from her beloved Albert. This snake ring is a beautiful example.  Made late in the Victorian era, circa 1872, from rich 15 karat yellow gold. At the center of the head is an antique cut old mine cut diamond weighing 0.30 carats.  A special and unique ring that's filled with symbolism, it's sure to be your new favorite heirloom.
