18K Yellow Gold Curled Snake Ring

Snake rings have held deep symbolic meaning across civilizations, from ancient Egypt to Greece, representing eternity, rebirth, and protection. The motif became especially fashionable in the 19th century when Queen Victoria received a snake-shaped engagement ring from Prince Albert in 1839. Even earlier, Marie Antoinette was drawn to serpent jewelry, reflecting both her opulent taste and the symbol’s association with wisdom and power. This 18K yellow gold snake ring, attributed to David Webb and dating to the 1970s, weighs 6.75 grams.
