The Victorian fascination with serpents was never merely about ornament, they were symbols of eternity, fidelity, and the unbreakable circle of life. Here, two snakes coil together in an eternal knot, their bodies winding across the finger in a bold, sculptural embrace. Their eyes glimmer with rose-cut diamonds, subtle yet enduring reminders of watchfulness and devotion. This was jewelry designed to speak in allegory, a secret language of love and permanence.

Crafted in 18 karat gold around 1890, this substantial ring carries with it the weight of presence and history. It is set with four rose-cut diamonds of about 1 mm each, nestled into the heads of the entwined serpents. The face of the ring measures 10.6 mm north to south and 23 mm across, rising 4.3 mm off the finger, with a band width of 5 mm at the back. It weighs 9.63 grams and is a US size 12. While it bears no hallmarks, it has been carefully tested for gold purity.

More than a jewel, this ring is a statement of continuity, an emblem of loyalty and eternal cycles, ready to carry its story forward on a new hand.
