Queen Victoria wore a serpent-shaped engagement ring with an emerald set into its head - it symbolized the eternal devotion she shared with her lover, and it's our inspiration for these earrings. The mythic beasts coil around moonstone teardrops, eyes glittering with tiny diamonds. The pendants are lapis lazuli - the deep blue gemstone was a favorite of Cleopatra's, arguably history's most famous wearer of serpent jewelry.
