Description

DATE: Victorian, c.1890

This fantastic coiled snake ring is of European origin and is crafted in silver throughout. It coils three times around the finger, with two striking pommel detailed eyes, while the end of the tail slithers around the bottom of the ring. Historically, the serpent has been a great symbol of fertility, and, through the shedding of their skin, they represent re-birth, immortality, and healing. This one fits a US 6 finger however can be resized. Dates from the late Victorian period.
