Vintage French 18K, Diamond & Ruby Snake Ring

The snake motif has been utilized in jewelry since the Ancients. Long considered as a symbol of royalty and wisdom, it has been documented that Cleopatra was famous for her snake jewelry. Later, the design was popularized during the Victorian Era when Prince Albert famously presented Queen Victoria with an engagement ring in the form of a snake. Representing eternal love, that ring caused a sensation, and snake jewelry has been a fashion statement ever since.

This sleek French creature is crafted in 18 karat yellow gold and embellished with glittering diamonds covering her majestic head. Two bright rubies serve as her eyes, the better to see her next prey! A wonderful, hefty ring that holds mysterious intrigue along with elevated sophistication!
