The cult of snake jewelry in the Victorian era began with Prince Albert proposing to Queen Victoria.

The ring given to her was in the image of a snake set with an emerald head.

For Victoria, the snake embodied eternal love, and promised her a true ‘happily ever after’.

Cast in jeweler's brass from a vintage mold, this Victorian snake ring has a turquoise enamel set in the eyes.

Cast as a 7 but adjustable.
