Exquisite Victorian Diamond Snake Ring – Chester 1897 – 18ct Gold Antique Serpent Ring
An exceptional and highly collectable example of late Victorian jewellery, this sensational coiled serpent ring is crafted in rich 18 carat yellow gold and fully hallmarked by the prestigious Chester Assay Office in the year 1897.
The ring’s wonderfully entwined body is adorned with five captivating old cut diamonds, elegantly set along the serpent’s head. These antique stones possess that distinctive, romantic sparkle unique to the hand-cut gems of the 19th century.
Expertly made with remarkable attention to detail, the serpent’s slightly parted mouth and finely modelled raised eyes evoke the finest craftsmanship of the era. A true testament to Victorian symbolism, the serpent motif represents eternity, enduring love, and loyal friendship—sentiments deeply cherished during the period.
