Description: The snake motif has been around since the Ancient Greek civilization, its symbolism evolving until its romantic height in the Victorian era. Queen Victoria put snake jewellery under the fashion spotlight when her husband-to-be, Prince Albert, bought her a snake engagement ring, with an emerald (her birthstone) embedded into it. The Victorians associated the snake motif with eternal love. The first Queen to be regularly seen out and about, Victoria’s style was emulated throughout the world and you can still find beautiful antique snake rings. Refined and elegant Victorian gold ring set with a central OEC diamonds... The stylistic nod to a snake is at once simplistic and clever, indeed!
