fierce visages

For the longest time, back to the ancients, jewelers have liked to create fierce looking rings to lend the wearer some of the protection of the creature itself. These rings are a collection of images I gathered on eBay. The very fine hatpin is from Erie Basin. And the photo at the bottom is my very own rather timid looking lion with an old simulated ruby ring I like to wear with it.These rings tend to be for men. I guess it doesn't seem manly enough to make men's ringsout of butterflies and kittens. I must say however, I like these fierce rings too and certainly there is a trend in women's   jewelry of crocodiles and panthers.
