Perhaps an eternal symbol of strength and courage, the lion is a beloved jewelry emblem, perhaps for its history in heraldry and signature. The Lion became especially popular in 19th century jewelry for this heavily symbolic past, as the practice of astrology re-emerged as a formidable topic of study-- so you can only imagine our delight to receive these beautiful cufflink to ring conversions back form our jeweler, just in time for Leo season. But a twist abounds! Rather than the typical male lion with his mighty mane, herein we see elegant lionesses, with their prominent ears and fine facial fur. Delicately converted into beautiful rings, they are all in 14ct and ready to star in any collection, you can acquire one, or the pair!
