with Diamonds and Rare Natural Organic Fibre. <br><br>Inner Diameter:58-mm Wt:31.9g<br><br>This bangle is crafted in 18K gold. The regular arrangement of its spiral structure lends the bracelet a dynamic beauty, as if flowing upon the wrist. The lion's facial expression and mane are rendered with exceptional delicacy. In European royal tradition, ruby has long been regarded as "the king of gemstones", its intense red colour symbolising supreme power. Setting rubies for the lion's eyes reinforces the creature's status as "king of beasts", implicitly signifying the wearer's dual authority. The clasp is stamped with an eagle's head hallmark.<br><br><br>ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO RETURNS OR CANCELLATIONS.<br><br> Additional photographs and condition reports may be provided upon request as a courtesy only.
