In the Victorian era, snake rings were extremely popular and were often worn with a serpent style bangle, brooch, or hatpin. They were often set with diamonds along the length of the band with precious gemstones such emeralds, rubies, and sapphires inlaid in the head to represent eyes.
The Victorians were influenced by the treasures of Roman and Greek times, so much so that they replicated many details of the visual culture of the Ancient world.
The snake ring peaked in popularity when Queen Victoria opted for a gold snake design set with rubies, diamonds, and an emerald for her engagement ring; a particularly unusual style. As time wore on, snake jewellery and other Ancient Egypt inspired pieces (such as insect jewellery) came into fashion due to influences on Britain from the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
