An absolutely stunning large 9ct yellow gold ring featuring an intertwined double headed snake ring. The detail on the head is charming and the heds are set with round faceted juicy red garnets.
Snakes have often in the past symbolised wisdom, rebirth, temptation and protection. This snake with the heads facing in opposite directions often symbolised protection, warding off evil from all directions. Snakes were popular during the Victorian era. During the 1970s there was a revival of Victorian designs and symbolism.
A delightful piece perfect for stacking or wearing alone.
