Contemporary Diamond Enamel Figural Leopard Ring

The creature of this ring entirely takes over the form of this Diamond Figural Leopard jewel, crafted in 18k yellow and white gold, made in the 21st century. As the head comes over the top and around the finger, the tail curls back just under the head. A perfect beginning and ending to a straightforward design. Did you know the leopard uses his tail for balance? Here he uses it for a charming flourish.

Our spotted black leopard—black from enamel and triangular brushstroke-style spots from the yellow gold underneath showing through—has gold ears, pointed upright as if something piqued his interest, and diamond-embellished chops just under a nose with a beautiful patina-like woodgrain, accented in the brushstroke style again, with gold and black enamel. A leopard’s spots are called rosettes because they resemble the shape of a rose. What an appropriate term for something that doubles as surface adornment on a piece of jewelry. The total diamond weight is an estimated 0.30 carat of round diamonds of G-H color and SI clarity.

Despite our friend’s perked-up ears, which we have learned can hear five times more sounds than we can, this leopard presently has a calm gaze; his eyelids are outlined brushily in gold with two round cabochon rubies for eyes with an estimated weight of 0.02 carat. Fun facts: the eyes and eyesight of a leopard are crucial to his existence and used for sighting prey and danger from great distances, and they can run at high speeds of up to 58km per hour. In some cultures, leopards signify royalty and are synonymous with strength, power, courage, and determination. So our leopard is in good company, well. He is solitary by nature and nocturnal. But he is also graceful with an air of majesty and mystery that lends itself perfectly to jewelry.

Size US 3.5, can be resized albeit to a limit. Diamond weight approx. 0.30 carats, estimated G-H, SI clarity. Ruby's weight is approx. 0.02carat. Overall weight approx. 19.22 grams, made in 18k yellow gold. Circa 21st Century.
