Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautifully modelled 18ct gold ring of a lion’s head that was made circa 1900-1910. He is holding a diamond in his jaw. It is a lovely and original Art Nouveau ring that could have been made in Belgium and was then retailed in France as it has the owl mark as well as the eagle’s head.
