Animals have been used at motifs in jewelry for centuries, from the Ancient Egyptians, to Native Americans, and especially noted in the Victorian Era, when Prince Albert presented Queen Victoria with her famous snake engagement ring. The trend has never died, with a wide variety of creatures turned into beautiful and fanciful adornment.
Converted from a set of cufflinks using replica shanks, this lion has a twin! We have named them after the famous lion statues that stand guard at the New York Public Library: Patience and Fortitude. A fiercely thoughtful gift, purrrfect for 'His and Her', 'His and His', or 'Her and Her' sets!
