FAQs

Snake motifs gained immense popularity during the Victorian era after Prince Albert presented Queen Victoria with an engagement ring featuring a serpent, symbolising eternal love and wisdom.

Authentic pieces from this period are usually crafted from 18ct or 9ct yellow gold, often incorporating gemstones such as diamonds or rubies for the eyes or head, and typically feature British town hallmarks and date letters.

Authenticity is verified through examining hand-stamped hallmarks, old-cut diamond facets which differ from modern precision cuts, and traditional construction methods such as solid cast gold bands without modern laser welding.

This piece can be worn alone as a statement cocktail ring or stacked alongside contemporary minimalist bands to create a textured, mixed-era aesthetic.

Preservation requires storing the piece in a lined jewellery box away from harder gems, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and having the setting inspected periodically by a professional jeweller to ensure stone security.
