An exquisite delicate antique serpent ring crafted in 18K rose gold, featuring a coiled snake crowned with a sparkling rose-cut diamond at its head. This timeless design, beloved since the Victorian era, wraps gracefully around the finger with a delicate and elegant presence. The diamond is small but bright, adding a touch of sparkle and brilliance to the piece. The ring has been well-loved, and most of its engraved scales have worn away with time, leaving only subtle traces behind—adding to its storied charm and character.
For centuries, the snake has symbolised eternal love, transformation, and new beginnings. The motif surged in popularity during Queen Victoria’s reign, especially after Prince Albert gifted her a serpent engagement ring set with emerald eyes—her birthstone—symbolising enduring love and protection.
A romantic and powerful emblem, this ring is a meaningful addition to any jewellery collection, rich with history and soul.
