This striking Victorian snake ring is a one-of-a-kind creation, handcrafted from two antique treasures: a beautifully detailed 18k gold band and a finely wrought stick pin, featuring a dazzling old cushion cut diamond of approximately 0.13 carats. Brought together by our master bench jeweller, this piece honours its origins while being reborn as a wearable symbol of timeless love.
Ouroboros rings—symbolising eternity, the cyclical nature of life, and enduring devotion—gained prominence in 1840 when Prince Albert presented Queen Victoria with a snake engagement ring. The serpent has also long been associated with luck, wealth, and protection, making this piece both meaningful and deeply personal.
As stick pins have become less commonly worn, reimagining them into rings allows their artistry and story to continue—giving these exceptional antique elements a fresh chance to be admired and cherished.
