The snake engagement ring in the 19th century
Responsible for the surge in demand for snake rings, Queen Victoria received her snake-embellished engagement ring. Passionate about reptiles, she brought up to date the symbol of the snake by associating it with a romantic dimension.
It becomes a sentimental talisman because the image of the snake biting its tail, known as ouroboros, illustrates eternal love.
Associated with diamonds, whose etymology refers to the unshakable, the inflexible, the two snakes here refer to the two loved ones whose love is indestructible and therefore eternal!
