The Story

Snake rings have been imbued with deep meaning throughout history, but this Victorian era (1837-1901) example is one of the most romantic! Taking cues from Queen Victoria's engagement ring, snake rings became all the rage, and with good sentimental reason. Snakes, with their ability to shed skin, represented rebirth and renewal, and their winding coils symbolized love without end. This iteration of the snake ring is particularly amorous, with the the 18 karat coils stacked directly on top of one another - a talisman of an unbroken bond that wraps the wearer in symbolic strength and commitment. .25 carats of twinkling Old Mine Cut diamonds adorn the snakes head, making this ring elevated enough to serve as unique wedding band.
