When Seattle has overcast cloudy skies, we always start thinking about dreary Victorian England and their wonderfully inspired jewelry full of symbolism. One of the most prolific symbols is that of the serpent, which represented eternal love as the snake is an endless loop encircling one’s finger. Queen Victoria had many serpent pieces, including a snake eating its own tail, which is an other endless circlet of love. From cuffs and bangles to gold rings, the serpent could be found almost everywhere in Victorian jewelry. Our example here features 18 karat yellow gold, two rose cut diamond eyes, and is from London circa 1895. Slither on in to try this jewel on today!

Sapphire has legendary powers to protect against poison and evil spirits. One tale tells of a poisonous spider placed in a box along with a sapphire, and the spider will die almost immediately. This ring has a 1.50 carat center diamond of L color and VS2 clarity that is flanked by two smaller yellow sapphires. Once known as Oriental Topaz, these yellow sapphires brighten up this platinum diamond ring, and will hopefully protect you from being out of style this summer!
