DATE: Victorian, 1886

Cute Victorian double snake ring; two diamond-brained serpents with slightly comical faces and expressions. They each feature an old Euro diamond in star setting, the ring modelled in 18 karat gold throughout with clear English hallmarks pinpointing its creation to the year 1886. Historically, the serpent has been a potent symbol of fertility, and, through the periodical shedding of their skin, represent re-birth, immortality, and healing.
