The Victorians loved using symbolism in jewellery. Snakes have been revered for millennia, often symbolising love, health, and immortality. Snakes are also used to represent eternity, especially when it wraps around itself. Queen Victoria’s engagement ring was two snakes overlapping, representing the eternal love from Alfred. The garnet symbolises trust an commitment, suggesting this pin could symbolise an eternal friendship, or love.
