Ensifero Lion of Venice with sword and book
In the green heart of bloodstone, expertly engraved in the second half of the twentieth century, emerges the Lion of Venice ensifero*: not only a sword-bearer, but also the guardian of the virtue that founded the greatness of the Venetian state: Justice. Its pose recalls the seventeenth-century one found in some paintings of the period: proud, composed, solemn. The tail, which curls into a sinuous S, recalls the ancient acronym of the Serenissima, like a seal spanning the centuries. The carving, carved into the jasper with a soft and ancient depth, dialogues with the 18-karat yellow gold setting, which preserves its iconic power without overpowering it. The oval measures 9 mm x 14 mm, weighing 7.7 grams—it is a small heraldic tablet, a fragment of Venetian history to wear on the finger. We can adjust the size 21, because every Leo finds his own style: the one that wears it not as an ornament, but as a declaration of belonging to a tradition that never fades.
*derives from the Latin ēnsifer, “sword bearer”
