Solid and chunky 18K antique quadruple banded Victorian snake ring hallmarked for London in 1902.

Snakes were a symbol of eternal love and friendship and were popularized by Queen Victoria during her reign in the 19th century. Snake rings were worn equally by both men and wo...

We love this bloodstone Chalcedony signet ring for its unusual decorative shield shape, a copy of a decorative shield that was popular in the 19th century. The shape of this escutcheon (another name for shield) is called "two engrailed top" and refers to the top of the shield with its double scalloped design. The double scallop line references a river or an ocean. The term "engrailed" comes from the Old French word graal, meaning "grail" (cup or chalice).
