This antique 18ct Yellow Gold Diamond Serpent Ring c1900 is an interesting and unique piece, perfect for everyday wear!
This 18ct Yellow Gold Diamond Serpent Ring c1900 is a captivating piece that embodies the romance and symbolism of the turn-of-the-century jewellery. The serpent motif, prevalent in the late Victorian period, was often used to represent eternal love, renewal, and the unbreakable bond between two individuals.
The serpent’s ability to shed its skin and be reborn was interpreted as a symbol of regeneration and the cyclical nature of life, making it a perfect emblem for lifelong commitment. The design of the serpents, entwined and coiled around the finger, suggests a relationship that is both enduring and transformative, with no end in sight.
This 18ct Yellow Gold Diamond Serpent Ring c1900 is adorned with old cut diamonds, a type of diamond cut commonly used in jewellery at the time. The old cuts were known for their larger facets and softer, rounded shapes, which were cut by hand and reflect a distinct antique charm. Unlike modern brilliant-cut diamonds, old cuts have a unique sparkle, and are prized for their romantic, antique quality and character.
The inclusion of these diamonds in the serpent’s design adds a touch of luxury and elegance, enhancing the symbolism of the ring with the idea of purity, strength, and light in the relationship.
The 18ct yellow gold setting, with its warm tone, further complements the romantic nature of the piece, providing a rich, timeless backdrop for the diamonds and adding to the overall opulence of the design.
Made in around 1900, this ring is a beautiful reflection of the Victorian era, a time when jewellery was crafted with great attention to detail and imbued with deep personal and symbolic meaning. Its combination of symbolism and diamonds makes it a rare and meaningful piece, full of both beauty and history.
Hallmarked for Birmingham 1900.
