Historically, the serpent has been a great symbol of fertility and, through the shedding of their skin, represent re-birth, immortality, and healing. This double snake ring is modelled in rich 18k gold with clear English hallmarks for the year 1898. Each snake has been set with a gemstone "brain" - two old cut diamonds within textured settings. It wraps around the finger twice, with each snakes head crossing over one another.
