Condition Notes: Prince Albert famously gave Victoria an engagement ring in the shape of a serpent. The coiled snake in Victorian jewelry is ubiquitous, a symbol of eternity, guardian spirit, and wisdom. Unmarked, tests 14k gold. The metal shows wear and evidence of sizing. Additionally, a gold ring has been soldered onto the interior of the ring for additional support. Diamond is a replacement.
