Antique diamond snake ring made in 1864

The snake or serpent design in jewellery goes as far back as to Roman times and was used to represent an eternal love, and this romantic design has been seen throughout the ages. Indeed Queen Victoria’s own engagement ring was a snake ring set with rubies, emeralds and diamonds given to her by Prince Albert, and as she was so pivotal for fashion at the time, this gave the snake ring a massive resurgence in popularity.

And here is a wonderful antique snake ring that was made in 1864 that is set with two diamonds that capture the light perfectly.

Made in 18 carat yellow gold, the ring measures 13.2mm wide at the top where the two heads meet by 9.2mm wide at the back, and the ring has such a wonderful smooth feel to the finger. This design combined with the feel of the ring, will surprise so many that it is well over 150 years old, yet still as fashionable today as when it was made. This ring can so easily be worn along with other antique jewellery as well as modern and fit right in.

Set with two European cut diamonds that total 0.08 carats, this ring will so easily suit any finger and any occasion and always be admired.
