A truly striking antique double serpent ring, beautifully crafted in rich 18 carat gold and fully hallmarked for London, 1902.
Each serpent’s head is set with a precious gem – one with a sparkling old mine cut diamond, the other with a deep midnight-blue sapphire. The diamond is bright and lively, with excellent clarity, while the sapphire offers a rich, velvety hue. Both snakes are finished with tiny old cut diamond eyes, adding wonderful detail and character.
Serpent jewellery was particularly popular in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, symbolising eternal love, fidelity, and protection. This example is a fine and rare piece from a renowned maker of the period, C.Y.B S.
A beautifully crafted and highly collectable antique ring that looks magnificent when worn.
