QUEEN VICTORIA WORE A SNAKE RING : ALICE KEPPEL GAVE THE KING A SNAKE RING TOO : VICTORIAN ERA LOVE MOTIFS

I thought you might be interested in this article about the symbolism of snake jewelry in the Victorian era. It has a drawing of Queen Victoria's snake ring! Snake rings are back in style now.

Excerpt: Serpent motifs became particularly prominent during the reign of Queen Victoria, who received an engagement ring from Prince Albert featuring a snake with an emerald-set head and ruby eyes. This sparked a fascination with snake-inspired designs, making them a defining trend of the Victorian era.

Today, it is believed the ring is buried with Queen Victoria at the Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore.
