This Victorian snake ring is spectacular. They heightened in popularity after Prince Albert gifted her one with an emerald embedded into it for their engagement. Victorians then began to see the snake motif as a symbol of eternal love. This snake ring has a natural patina around the head and two diamond eyes, adding to the charm and opulence of this statement antique ring.
