This gold ring shows the bodies of two snakes in close entwinement. The head of one animal is set with a diamond, while the other holds a dark blue star-cut sapphire. The motif of the two snakes is an ancient symbol of friendship and solidarity. The ancient Egyptians were already familiar with this pictorial idea and it experienced a renaissance in Germany during the Biedermeier period and later in Art Nouveau. These rings were often gifts of everlasting friendship or were worn as a sign of unbreakable love and attachment. This ring is suitable for a delicate hand. It was created in the years shortly before 1900 and appeals to us not least because of its flat, practical design. We discovered it here in Berlin.
