This ring shows the bodies of two snakes in close entwinement. The heads of both animals each bear an old-cut diamond, while two diamond roses adorn the eyes. Together, the stones weigh around 0.35 carats. The motif of two intertwined snakes is an ancient symbol of friendship and solidarity. The ancient Egyptians were already familiar with this pictorial idea. In Germany, it experienced a renaissance in the Biedermeier period and later in Art Nouveau. These rings were often gifts and were worn as a sign of unbreakable love and attachment. The ring shows traces of old fine gilding, which is still visible in the deep areas of the ring. The material itself is a slightly reddish gold. This gold alloy and workmanship are typical of late 19th and early 20th century jewellery. The ring is rather small and therefore suitable for more delicate hands. The beautiful snake ring came to us here in Berlin.
