Title:18 kt Gold Plated Brass Etruscan Lion Profile Statement Ring Alberto Juan

Description:The lion has had a positive depiction on cultures for hundreds of thousands of years, reflecting strength in conjunction with beauty, as well as bravery.
Often depicted as the âking of the jungleâ, it has been used as a symbol of royalty, from many ancient civilizations from: Pre-Egyptian, Byzantine, Roman, Greek, Middle Eastern, Indian, Chinese, and even currently as the central depiction of English and French heraldry.
Once found in Africa, Eurasia, India, and in the Americaâs, as far down as Peru, the wild lions can now only be found in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and an endangered remnant population in India.
In this 14th collection of Alberto Juan lion jewelry we celebrate the depiction of the wild African lion on Pre-Roman Etruscan civilization as well as the more modern cave lionâs royal style.

This is the 1st piece of my 14th collection of Lion inspired jewelry.

This ring was carved in an Etruscan design from a solid piece of wax, then molded and cast in brass, then plated in 18 kt gold vermeil.
The rings profile measures 20 mm's deep from the base of the neck to the nose and 16 mm's wide from side to side and perfect for a man or woman.
Marked, "AJ" for "Alberto Juan".
Available as sterling silver($220), 18 kt gold vermeil over sterling silver($240), and sterling silver over brass($110) and with the polish of your choice (polished or antiqued).
