He might have chosen it for its meaning as much as its beauty. A Victorian love token, carried carefully before being slipped onto her hand, two serpents meeting in an eternal embrace. This antique double snake garnet ring feels born of that deeply symbolic romance. Polished 9 karat gold bodies coil toward one another, their sinuous curves meeting at the center where deep red garnets glow like shared heartbeats. In Victorian symbolism, the serpent represented devotion, eternity, and protection, a creature without beginning or end. Here, the twin forms create a quiet, intimate drama, framing the stones as though guarding something precious. It feels ancient and romantic all at once, a talisman of connection meant to be worn close.

Handcrafted around 1900, this Victorian serpent ring is made of solid 9 karat gold and hallmarked “9” and “.375,” with a partial maker’s mark reading “C B.” It is set with two natural garnets measuring approximately 4 x 5 x 2 millimeters each, totaling approximately .62 carats. The ring measures approximately 15.2 millimeters north to south, 23 millimeters across the face, sits about 3.6 millimeters off the finger, with a band width of 2.8 millimeters. It weighs 5.7 grams and is currently a US size 10.5.

Bold, symbolic, and unmistakably Victorian, this antique snake ring carries more than a century of meaning in its curves. Whether worn as a romantic statement piece or cherished as a historic love token, it is the kind of jewel that does not simply adorn the hand, it tells a story, a rare survivor of a poetic era, waiting for someone who appreciates jewelry with mystery, symbolism, and soul.
