18ct Gold Antique Double Snake Ring, Rose-cut Diamond Eyes, London 1911

1900 - 1920
Description

Magnificent Antique 18ct Gold Double Snake Ring, Diamond Eyes – London 1911

A splendid example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, this superb double snake ring is beautifully modelled in rich 18ct gold and carries full London hallmarks for 1911, together with the maker’s initials W W. The entwined serpents are wonderfully executed, each with delicate rose-cut diamond eyes and finely shaped features, including slightly open mouths and a softly tapered coiled tail.

The symbolism of the serpent — representing eternal love, loyalty, and enduring friendship — makes this an especially meaningful piece. Substantial on the hand and exceptionally well-preserved, it is a ring of great presence and timeless appeal.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Serpent motifs in jewellery gained widespread popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries, symbolising eternity, wisdom, and eternal love following Queen Victorias adoption of a snake engagement ring.

Edwardian snake rings were typically cast in high-karat yellow or rose gold, often featuring hand-engraved scale details and precious gemstone eyes such as diamonds, rubies, or sapphires.

Authentic pieces generally display period assay hallmarks, soft natural surface wear, hand-set rose-cut or old-mine cut gemstones, and seamless hand-chased metal construction.

Antique rings are frequently displayed on vintage ceramic ring trays, framed fabric display boards, or beneath glass dome cloches on a bedroom vanity.

Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, ensuring the ring is stored separately in a lined box to prevent scratching from contact with other jewellery.
