Victorian 14K Gold Diamond Snake Ring, c. 1880

A serpent of gold, winding its way around the finger, its head crowned with a brilliant old-cut diamond. This Victorian-era snake ring captures the mystique and symbolism of the era—snakes, revered as symbols of eternity, transformation, and devotion, were favored in sentimental jewelry. The fluid, sculpted gold shimmers with a warmth that only time can bestow, making this a piece of history as much as it is a piece of jewelry.

Handcrafted in 14K gold and hallmarked accordingly, this ring dates to around 1880. The central diamond, a fiery 0.63-carat gem, glows with antique brilliance, while two tiny accent diamonds, set as the serpent’s watchful eyes, add an air of quiet mystery. It measures 13 mm by 14 mm across, with a height of 4 mm, and weighs 4.38 grams. Designed for a comfortable fit, it is a size 7.25 US, its coiled form wrapping naturally around the finger.

Both a striking statement and a symbol of eternal love, this serpent ring is a testament to the artistry and meaning behind Victorian jewelry.
