BY DEPICTING THE SMALL, YOUTHFUL CUPID KNEELING IN FRONT OF THE LION, ARTISTS ILLUSTRATE THAT EVEN THE FIERCEST BEASTS ARE COMPLETELY POWERLESS AGAINST THE FORCE OF LOVE. THIS IS THE THEME CARVED INTO MOTHER OF PEARL AND COVERED WITH VENETIAN GLASS TINTED THE COLOR OF AQUAMARINE. THERE IS BEAUTIFUL BEADING FOLLOWED BY .36 CT TW OF DIAMONDS ENCIRCLING THE GLASS. CRAFTED IN 14KT YELLOW GOLD, THE RING IS APPROXIMATELY 3/4 INCH HIGH AND WIDE AND FEATURES A DECORATIVE, ENGRAVED SHANK.
