They were Cleopatra’s favorite gemstone, and she used emeralds in her royal adornments. Aristotle is rumored to have encouraged wearing emeralds around one’s neck to keep sickness away.

He held out his hand to pull her up out of the lake where she’d gone for a morning swim and she noticed a flash in the sunlight. She wondered but said nothing as he wrapped her a big fluffy towel warmed by the sun. When he went down on one knee, she thought he was simply reaching for the cup of coffee he’d set on the dock, but instead he slipped the ring off of his finger and onto hers. He didn’t say a word, but his eyes said ‘will you?’, her grin was all the yes he needed in reply.

This wonderful diamond bypass ring has such a romantic feel, the greek key motif in the center locks together two diamonds in an eternal embrace.

“It is my prayer, it is my longing, that we may pass from this life together—a longing which shall never perish from the earth, but shall have place in the heart of every wife that loves, until the end of time; and it shall be called by my name.” - Eve (Mark Twain)

The serpent has had a place in mythology since man has been man. Chased from the Garden of Eden, sprouting from the head of a Gorgon, a dual symbol of good and evil, of medicine and poison, of fertility and revenge. Perhaps the duality of our own human nature has led every culture throughout humankind to both revere and revile them. To the Egyptians they were a symbol of royalty, to the Hindi a sign of passion, to the Romans they represented undying love. When Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria, it was at the height of a fashion revival for all things ancient and he presented her with a ring composed of two intertwined snakes to symbolize their unity and eternal love. Thus began both the engagement ring and the Victorian love affair with the serpent.

This magnificent single snake ring is set with a lively combination of diamonds and rubies. Hand crafted around 1870 in 15 karat gold, this beautiful ring contains two old European cut diamonds which together weigh .2 carats and two small rose cut diamonds eyes.
