Description

A stunning double coiled snake ring in slightly rosy gold dating from 1906. Each serpent's head is set with a lovely pink almandine garnet which catches the light beautifully.

To the Victorians snakes were a potent symbol which represented the opposing forces of good and evil, fertility and rebirth, poison and medicine. When Albert gave Victoria a gem-studded snake engagement ring in 1837 serpent motifs became fashionable as a symbol of commitment, wisdom and everlasting love and snake designs remained enduringly popular into the Edwardian period through to the present day.

The ring is in very good antique condition with no chips or cracks to the gemstones. There are two tiny scars which correspond with the tips of the snakes' heads where they may originally have been soldered tightly together.

Fully hallmarked for nine-carat gold in several places inside the shank, with crisp marks for Birmingham Assay Office (England) and the year 1906, as well as the sponsor's mark JHW.

Size: The width of the ring makes it difficult to size exactly but it is approximately a P and a half (UK), 8 (US) and measures 1.5cm north-south at the front. The garnets measure approx 5 x 4mm.

Weight: 7.4g.

FAQs

The Edwardian period, spanning from 1901 to 1910, is characterised by lightweight, delicate craftsmanship often utilising platinum, yellow gold, and precious gemstones, frequently favouring motifs inspired by nature, including serpents, flowers, and ribbons.

Antique snake rings were predominantly crafted from various karats of yellow or rose gold, frequently accented with gemstones such as garnets, rubies, or diamonds for the eyes, and occasionally incorporating silver settings for stones.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-carved details, traditional assay hallmarks denoting metal purity, closed or foiled back settings in older stones, and natural signs of gentle wear consistent with historical age.

An antique ring can be worn as a striking standalone statement piece on the hand, or displayed safely within a glass-topped jewellery case or vintage presentation box on a dressing table.

Historic jewellery should be stored individually in soft-lined compartments away from moisture and direct sunlight, cleaned gently with a soft dry cloth, and kept away from ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemical solvents.
