Its three snake heads are respectively set with a diamond, a ruby, and a sapphire, giving the jewel a lively play of color and symbolism. The openwork design and sinuous movement place it firmly within the transitional taste around 1900, when Victorian ornamentation began to soften toward Art Nouveau.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType of jewelry: ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: very good condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: unknown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: late Victorian period to early Art Nouveau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: circa 1900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSource of inspiration: nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheme: snakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 18K yellow gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond: one old European-cut diamond, approximate total weight 0.18 ct, color and clarity J\/K, SI\/I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGemstones: one sapphire with an approximate total weight of 0.19 ct and one ruby with an approximate total weight of 0.24 ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHallmarks: illegible remnants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: width of the ring head 1.67 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.50 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing size : 61 (FR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis jewel stands at the meeting point of two late 19th-century currents: the richly decorative language of the Victorian period and the first signs of Art Nouveau. Victorian jewelry often drew inspiration from earlier historical styles, romantic symbolism, and a marked taste for ornament, while the final decades of the century paved the way for softer, more naturalistic, and more fluid forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArt Nouveau, which emerged toward the end of the 19th century and flourished around 1890 to 1905, introduced an organic approach to design. It favored flowing lines, stylized flowers, plants, insects, female figures, and other natural forms. In this transitional period, jewels may still retain a Victorian structure or feeling while already showing the movement and rhythm inspired by nature that would become essential to Art Nouveau.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe style is also connected to artistic movements of the late Victorian era, notably the Arts and Crafts movement, the Aesthetic movement, and the Anglo-Japanese taste. Together, these currents helped move the decorative arts away from strict historicism and toward a more integrated artistic vision, in which jewelry, furniture, interiors, and architecture could form a unified aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subject and rich gold decoration remain rooted in the 19th century, while the openwork design, leaf-like details, and sinuous movement already evoke the natural rhythm of early Art Nouveau.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSnakes are among the oldest and most widespread symbols in human culture. Their meaning varies from one civilization to another, but many interpretations return to the same fundamental ideas: renewal, transformation, fertility, protection, wisdom, and healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the snake sheds its skin, it has often been associated with rebirth and the cycle of life, death, and renewal. In jewelry, the snake can therefore carry a meaning that is both protective and regenerative. It can also evoke eternity, sensuality, or hidden knowledge, depending on the period, culture, and design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe ring is designed around a sinuous serpent form, enhanced with textured goldwork and colored stones. Its coiled movement gives the jewel a quality that is both protective and alive, in keeping with the long symbolic tradition of serpent jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe indicated diamond weights, colors, and clarities are approximate, unless otherwise stated, as the diamonds are not removed from their settings in order to preserve the integrity of the piece. All diamonds in our antique jewelry and vintage pieces, regardless of their size or shape, are verified by the IJGC laboratory as natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll indicated colored stone weights are approximate, unless otherwise stated, as the stones are not removed from their settings. Gemstones are often treated to improve their color or clarity. The stones in this piece have not been tested for treatments, unless otherwise indicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is the birthstone for the month of April, sapphire for September, and ruby for July.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Adin","offers":[{"title":"61","offer_id":55129788023113,"sku":"26106-0234","price":6750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/5311\/1432\/files\/mp_66684_0.jpg?v=1787583983","url":"https:\/\/58facettes.com\/products\/bague-triple-serpent-en-or-jaune-rubis-saphir-et-diamant","provider":"58 Facettes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
