This fascination is reflected in its widespread use as a symbolic and decorative motif in valuable possessions, especially jewellery. Its intriguing and enigmatic representation of both good and evil, fertility and rebirth, poison and medicine has allowed the snake to remain one of the most prevalent mythological symbols to date. Historically, the serpent has held different meanings in different parts of the world; presenting royalty and deity in Egypt - often featuring in jewellery worn by the great Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra; sexual passion and desire in Rabbinical tradition and Hinduism; and everlasting love in the Ancient Roman civilisation. Furthermore Greek, Nordic, African and Native American people have all honoured and immortalised the serpent in gold and other precious metals.In the early 19th Century in Britain, serpent jewellery was elevated to new heights when Prince Albert presented Queen Victoria with the first ever engagement ring as a symbol of his eternal love. The Royal engagement launched the popularity of the serpent as the dominant motif on rings, brooches and necklaces in the 1840s.

A 19TH CENTURY MOURNING RING, 1835Set centrally with a frame of enamel surrounded by half-pearls, between carved trifurcated shoulders, mounted in 18K gold, hallmarked London 1835 and engraved Dorcas Grives obt 4 June 1835 Oct 79 with heart-shaped fitted case, ring size U Mourning rings are commemorative rings created and worn to pay tribute to a deceased relative, close friend or historical figure. Accounts of mourning rings date back as far as the Roman Empire. After the defeat of the Romans by the Carthage Army lead by Hannibal at the battle of Cannae c.216 BC (a great battle of the Second Punic War), the Carthaginian general ordered all gold rings of the slain Roman soldiers to be removed and sent back to Carthage as proof of the army’s great victory. In remembrance of the fallen soldiers or others who had passed away, the elite of Roman society would remove their gold rings and replace them with iron ones to show they were in mourning. This tradition was only practiced by the upper classes as under Caesar’s reign only the rich could wear gold rings. Centuries later mourning rings were still in use and have been identified from the 15th to the early 20th Century, the pinnacle of their popularity being during the 18th Century.
