A sumptuous, incredible snake ring with a beautiful blue enamel body! A late 19th/early 20th century example, this snake is simply sumptuous with a ruby set head and red enamel eyes/snout detail. Three coils around the finger, and delightful. I simply adore this example! Likely a french hallmark was wiped during a previous sizing.

A note on snake jewelry:

Queen Victoria set many trends-- one of our favorites must be her engagement ring. The royal couple thrust snake jewelry under the fashion spotlight when The Queen's husband-to-be, Prince Albert, bought her a snake engagement ring, with an emerald (her birthstone) crown. The Victorians associated the snake motif with eternal love. The first Queen to be regularly seen out and about, Victoria’s style was emulated throughout the world and you can still find beautiful antique snake jewelry today.
