Elegant in its simplicity, it captures one of the Victorian era's most enduring and sought-after jewellery motifs, combining sculptural design with understated brilliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe smoothly polished gold body curves naturally around the finger, its clean flowing form drawing the eye to the diamond-set head. Snake rings became one of the defining fashions of the nineteenth century after Queen Victoria received a serpent engagement ring from Prince Albert in 1839, with the coiled serpent representing eternal love, wisdom and renewal. Their symbolism and distinctive design have ensured their popularity for generations, making antique examples especially desirable today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring remains in excellent antique condition with light age-related wear consistent with careful preservation. The diamonds are securely set, the gold retains a smooth polished finish, and the serpent's features remain beautifully defined, creating a striking piece that is as wearable today as it was over a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Edwardian, 1908\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHallmarks: Chester assay office., 375 9ct gold with date letter 'H' for the year 1908.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: \u003cbr\u003e\nRing size UK P 1\/2 \/ US 7.75.\u003cbr\u003e\nSnake Width 9.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\nBand width 3mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeight:\u003cbr\u003e\n2.6 grams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"thenorthc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57223203520892,"sku":"CN1426","price":970.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/3423\/1615\/files\/il_fullxfull.8356788353_hr7c.jpg?v=1785256881","url":"https:\/\/thenorthc.co.uk\/products\/antique-9ct-gold-snake-ring-diamond-eyes-coiled-serpent-ring-1908-cn1426","provider":"TheNorthC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
