Inspired by Snakes





Currently inspired by vintage snake jewelry, mainly from the Victorian era like the pieces pictured here.
In the 19th century snake rings were used as wedding/engagement rings as a symbol of luck, eternity and love. It is said that Queen Victoria's wedding ring was a snake ring. The symbol in jewelry in other cultures is also worn for protection, strength, and fertility. Good reasons to wear one.
