An exquisite antique 18K yellow gold serpent ring, featuring a gracefully coiled snake crowned with five graduating old-cut diamonds that shimmer beautifully with every movement. This classic Victorian design is rich in symbolism and style, offering both history and sparkle in one striking piece.
The serpent motif has long been associated with eternal love, transformation, and new beginnings. Its popularity surged during the Victorian era when Prince Albert gifted Queen Victoria a snake-shaped engagement ring with emerald eyes—symbolising eternal devotion and marking the birth of a lasting trend in sentimental jewellery.
This ring wears comfortably and elegantly, with the snake’s coiled form wrapping naturally around the finger. The diamonds add a radiant brilliance, bringing the design to life.
