I love this unique statement ring! Ready to slither around your finger. This is a beautiful, great quality, vintage sterling silver double snake ring. The two snakes are intertwined and form the band of the ring. Their heads surround an emerald green glass marquise shaped piece. The silver is nice and heavy in this. Feels great on (I am having a hard time selling this piece!)! This is a unisex ring and can be worn by a man or a woman.

History: Snake Jewelry - It is one of the oldest mythological symbols, and started popularity in jewelry back in ancient Egyptian times. The snake has a dual representation of good and evil, fertility and rebirth, poison and medicine. Throughout history different civilizations used serpent symbolism in different ways. Egyptians as royalty and deity; Rabbinical and Hinduisim, sexual desire and passion; Romans as everlasting love. Cleopatra is the most notable historic figure wearing snake jewelry however Native Americans , Nordic, Greek, and African, have used the snake symbol with different meanings. Queen Victorian made the wearing of snake jewelry popular after Prince Albert proposed with the first engagement ring. It was a snake with an emerald-set head. The snake for Victoria was an emblem of eternal love. The snake continues to be a popular symbol in jewelry.

I lightly polish my vintage silver as some people like the aged patina. If deals you want me to polish it before shipping, just let me know! I am not an expert on vintage jewelry, but I do buy and sell what I love! Since these items are vintage, they may have a wonderful aged patina and are not meant or expected to look brand new. I treasure their imperfections as part of their charm and history.
