ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Chic since way (way) back, snake rings show no sign of falling out of favor. These Victorian-era finger jewels were made popular by the trendsetting Queen Victoria when the unconventional Prince Albert presented her with such a ring upon their betrothal. While the Queen's was set with rubies, diamonds, and an emerald (her birthstone), this version of the sinuous reptile gleams with a bright pinkish-red ruby and a glinting single-cut diamond. Very Victorian, very cool. Hand fabricated in 18K gold, from Chester, England, circa 1890-1900. Currently ring size 6 1/2.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
