Snake Rings and Victorian Fashion by: Yvonne Hammouda-Eyre
Greg, Snake Rings were a popular part of Victorian fashion. That's the Birmingham assay office, fineness of gold is 9 carat, not imported.
It's impossible for me to date the ring without seeing the date mark. You will find a *** text link about half way down the page HERE. Download the pdf file from that page. (It's a bit slow to down load, but worth the wait).
