Victorian 18K gold certified natural pearls snake ring
An important 19th-century Victorian era ring crafted in 18K yellow gold and designed as two serpents twisting elegantly at both the top and bottom of the band. At the center sit 3 LFG-certified natural pearls, displaying soft pink and gray hues—an arrangement that evokes the impression of precious eggs carefully guarded by the watchful snakes.
A yellow citrine anchors the composition, with a branch set with rose-cut diamonds set on platinum, together forming a clover—long regarded as a timeless emblem of good fortune.
Serpents in Victorian jewelry symbolized eternity, protection, and enduring affection, making this piece rich in both meaning and artistry. With natural pearls now becoming exceedingly rare, this ring stands as a remarkable and precious survivor from a bygone era.
