  • MotifsSerpent head, Triple coiled band, Gypsy set diamonds

This nineteenth-century Victorian ring is fashioned from nine-carat gold and takes the form of a triple snake band with three entwined serpent heads. Each head is gypsy-set with a single old-cut diamond, producing a saturated bright gold finish across the coiled shanks. The jewellery piece rests inside a velvet-lined box upholstered in dark purple fabric, featuring a hinged lid secured with a small metal clasp and a turned front button. Serpent imagery gained popularity during the early years of Queen Victoria's reign alongside the Romantic movement, carrying traditional symbolic meanings of love, loyalty and friendship. The ring is designed for personal adornment as an exceptional addition to a private jewellery collection or for occasional wear. The snakeheads each measure 5.5mm across, the band width measures 13.7mm across the widest part and 6.9mm across the thinnest part, while each diamond measures 3mm with a total weight of approximately 0.21ct and an overall weight of 5.69 grams. The ring size is UK S or US 9, suitable for contemporary wear where finger coverage is desired. The nine-carat gold band remains in great condition with securely set diamonds that retain their sparkle.

FAQs

Serpent motif jewellery gained widespread popularity in the 19th century after Prince Albert presented Queen Victoria with a snake engagement ring, symbolising eternal love and wisdom.

Victorian snake rings were typically crafted from yellow gold or rose gold, often set with gemstones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, or garnets to form the eyes or head detail.

Authentic pieces generally display period hallmark stamps, hand-engraved details, hand-cut gemstones such as old mine or old European cuts, and subtle wear patterns consistent with age.

Serpent rings function effectively as standalone focal pieces on the index or middle finger, or stacked alongside minimalist gold bands for a contemporary textured look.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners that could dislodge stones or damage antique settings.
