Victorian Snake Ring with Diamond Head & Emerald Eyes
This charming snake ring features a finely formed serpent with a diamond-set head and vivid emerald eyes, creating a delicate yet eye-catching design. The combination of a silver setting with a 14ct gold band adds contrast, while the slim proportions make it comfortable and easy to wear. One emerald eye appears slightly brighter than the other, adding subtle individuality to the piece.
Snake motifs were especially popular in Victorian jewellery, symbolising eternity, loyalty, and everlasting love. Often given as tokens of affection, these rings carried deep sentimental meaning, with the coiled form representing an unbroken bond.
