About the Item

Here we have a fabulously crafted 18ct yellow gold double snake ring. This piece showcases a round faceted sapphire possessing a rich navy blue colour tone a the centre of the face. A duo of highly detailed coiled serpents wrap around this principle stone with their scaled bodies leading down either shoulder. A single pear shaped diamond sits at either shoulder for company before the piece is finished with a lightly engraved shank. This ring was beautifully handcrafted by master antique jewellery restorer/re-designer Gaetano Chiavetta. The snake ring peaked in popularity when Queen Victoria opted for a gold snake design set with rubies, diamonds, and an emerald for her engagement ring; a particularly unusual style. As time wore on, snake jewellery and other Ancient Egypt inspired pieces (such as insect jewellery) came into fashion due to influences on Britain from the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
