Pause to marvel at the exceptional craftsmanship of this English Victorian Signet Intaglio Crest Signet and 15Kt Yellow Gold Snake Ring! The ring boasts an oval family crest shield and foliate design, meticulously carved from hardstone, measuring approximately 17.5 mm X 12.1 mm with a captivating black hue. The hardstone crest, a unique feature, is impeccably preserved and delicately set into a 15kt yellow gold double snake ring, another distinctive element, also in impeccable condition. In the Victorian era, snakes were not merely decorative elements, but symbols of profound concepts such as eternity, wisdom, and rebirth. The act of a snake shedding its skin was often seen as a metaphor for personal growth and transformation. This symbolism was so significant that even Queen Victoria associated the snake motif with everlasting love, as evidenced by the serpent engagement ring adorned with an emerald that Prince Albert presented to her.This one-of-a-kind piece, with its intricate details and unique features, is guaranteed to capture attention and leave a lasting impression!
