This ring from Great Britain, crafted in reddish gold, depicts the bodies of two snakes tightly entwined. The heads of the snakes each hold a large red garnet teardrop, and their intimate intertwining is reminiscent of the Far Eastern yin and yang symbol. The motif of the two intertwined snakes is an ancient symbol of friendship and bond. Even the ancient Egyptians were familiar with this imagery. In England, rings of this kind are still crafted today and are known as “promise rings”—for they are based on the promise to always be there for one another. This ring, whose hallmark dates it to 1917, was crafted in Birmingham—the center of British jewelry manufacturing—in the workshop of John Henry Wynn. It is unusually wide and bold. The large, brilliant garnets give it a striking appearance.
