Description
Onyx snake rings were a significant trend during the Victorian era, particularly in the latter half of the 19th century. Their popularity was driven by Queen Victoria's 1840 engagement ring, a gold snake with an emerald, which set a trend for this symbol of eternal love. Black onyx became a popular material for snake rings and other mourning jewellery after Prince Albert's death in 1861, as it was a suitable dark gemstone for the prevailing mourning customs
