Victorian era 18K Gold diamond ruby Double Snake Ring
A strong symbol of duality, wisdom, and eternal life, this exquisite 19th-century French double snake ring is a captivating tribute to one of jewelry’s most enduring motifs.
Crafted in rich 18K yellow gold, the ring features two intertwined serpents—one adorned with a sparkling old mine-cut diamond (approx. 0.07ct) and the other with a vivid purplish-red ruby (approx. 0.07ct).
The goldwork showcases intricate detailing, with one snake textured with scales and the other polished to a smooth finish, creating a striking contrast. The diamond and ruby sit elegantly atop the snakes’ heads, symbolizing duality in power and mystique. The shank bears the French eagle’s head hallmark for 18K gold.
Since antiquity, snakes have represented eternity, rebirth, and hidden knowledge—revered by the Celts, Romans, and Greeks. This ring channels that legacy, offering both protective energy and a bold statement of timeless elegance. Despite its sculptural presence, the ring’s ergonomic twist makes it versatile for stacking or wearing as a standalone statement piece.
A rare and enchanting antique ring for your antique jewelry collection.
