Vintage Diamond & Ruby 18k Gold Leopard Ring

$3,000.00

Description

DATE: Vintage, c.1960

This roaring Vintage ring is modelled as a leopard. "A leopard never changes its spots"- and this ones set with 0.86 carats of sparkling brilliant cut diamonds. They appear across his head, nose and even tail that curls around the finger to form the band itself. The large cat appears to be roaring (or yawning) with his mouth wide open displaying those long teeth! Enamel can be seen across its tongue displaying a faint colour of red, while its eyes are strikingly set with rubies. Crafted in rich 18 karat gold throughout, the gold is textured at the tail and head to create that "fur" effect, while the back of the band is smooth. It rests with a high profile on the finger and it dates to the 1960's.
