Cufflinks La Moeca lion
Unique and precious cufflinks in hand-engraved carnelian stone and 18kt yellow gold, oval dimensions 21 x 16 mm, depicting the famous Venetian lion in Majesty, one of the most powerful and fascinating symbols of Venetian history: the Lion in Majesty, also known as Leon in Moeca. This emblem, the beating heart of the Republic of Venice, embodies strength, spirituality and identity. The Lion of St. Mark, depicted “in moleca” – a dialect term that recalls a moulting crab – stands out for its rounded shape, with its wings gathered like claws and its proud gaze turned forward. Often sculpted sitting on its hind legs, with the open book of the Gospel and its front legs conveying balance and authority, it represents not only a religious symbol, but above all the power and glory of the Serenissima. Each jewel in our collection is a tribute to this age-old tradition: small works of art to wear, capable of evoking the Venetian soul in all its magnificence. Wear history. Take the spirit of Venice with you. One of a kind, pieces of absolute craftsmanship linked to the ancient Venetian goldsmith tradition. Price on request – Sometimes we publish jewels available only on order on the site; often photos and details of the jewels you see are published as a historical reference of our 50 years and more of activity for your future orders. We almost always do not publish prices due to the continuous variation in the costs of precious metals and stones; you can ask us if the jewel you saw is available and we will respond shortly with a quote.
