This fantastic snake ring is crafted in rich 18k gold throughout, as it wraps around your finger thee times... It's modelled with two snake heads, and they rest together in a kind of snake hug and coil. Each snake is set with old cut diamond "brains" and rose cut eyes, and it dates from the Victorian period, circa 1880. Historically, the serpent has been a potent symbol of fertility, and, through the periodical shedding of their skin, represent re-birth, immortality, and healing.
