The snake held a variety of meanings in ancient cultures. Despite being a venomous creature, the serpent was a symbol of protection and healing in Greek mythology. Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, sometimes appeared to his patients in the form of a snake. The snake symbol enjoyed a massive resurgence in popularity during the Victorian era (1837-1901). Queen Victoria, the ultimate trend-setter, favored serpent jewelry, which came to symbolize wisdom and eternal love during this period. And Prince Albert gave Queen Victoria her most prized snake jewellery - a snake engagement ring.
