The motif of the serpent, which in mythology stands for self-renewing time, i.e. eternity, was already known to the ancient Egyptians - in Germany it experienced a renaissance in the Biedermeier period and later also in Art Nouveau and was often used in the meaning of friendship jewellery. In this interpretation, the snake wraps itself around the recipient and never lets go, just as the heart of the giver feels bound to the wearer. In England, rings of this type are therefore also called "promise rings". These rings were often gifts of everlasting friendship or were worn as a sign of unbreakable love. They were particularly popular at the turn of the century around 1900 and in the years that followed. This ring can be dated to 1920 thanks to the hallmarks on the inside. It also shows the old motif of the snake ring in an elegant form and was created in London. Five diamonds in old European cuts are set in the head of the reptile and add shimmering highlights to the ring, which is made from high-carat gold. Two green emeralds as eyes give the snake a mysterious look. Elegant and a little exotic, the ring is a piece of jewelry that can be worn by men and women alike. We discovered the precious snake in the south of England.
