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

1900 - 1920
Description

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 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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

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.
