The ram has always enjoyed favor as a potent symbol because of the animal's legendary strength and virility (and hence its creative powers), and its characteristics as a leader and protector of his flock. Boasting a bright coral body, symbolizing modesty, wisdom, and happiness. 

As a coral enthusiast and long-time jewelry lover, I have found myself drawn more and more toward cameo and carved jewelry. This particular ring, a phenomenal ram carving, has bewitched my curatorial senses. I love the color variation in the specimen, I love the marriage of this carving, which was perhaps once a stick pin or part of a larger piece, to this later 19th-century shank. Art Nouveau lilies curl up the sides, forming a true meeting of masculine and feminine design motifs to create a striking balance in this wearable sculpture.
