What did the snake mean to Victorians when it came to love
Most of us would think evil, snakes nasty, slippery, slitty eyed things not to be trusted. This is really all down to Eve, set us all into hating and not trusting snakes, let alone love and fidelity.
Well the Victorians knew what a snake meant and yes you have guessed it love and fidelity, the Victorians were very keen on hidden meanings in particular in flowers and jewellery, snakes were for love and enduring fidelity.
Often the snakes in particular in pendants would have a heart dangling from their mouth. A snake items gives instant whats this appeal and interest. Snake jewellery was for love and is very sought after genre in jewellery.
Often this meant a man could confidently and butchly if their is such a word wear a snake ring without looking like a sissy.
