Chevalier gold ring Moeca
Delicate 9 carat gold signet ring with a lion diameter of 1.4 cm. The ring depicts the famous Venetian winged lion Moeca. In the Venetian dialect, the word “moeca” has two traditional meanings: it is associated with both the effigy of the winged lion of St. Mark, symbol of the city, rising from the waters (el leon en moeca), and the local crab from which it takes its name, depicted with outstretched wings resembling a molting Moeca crab (common riparian crab, Carcinus mediterraneus, also known as fried soft crabs). This delicacy is also known as the Venetian nugget. Wearing or keeping this ring means carrying with you a fragment of Venetian history, a symbol that is not simply an ornament but an identity: the pride of the Lion, the wisdom of the book, the rebirth of the moeca, the memory of a power that has governed seas and lands with the same elegance with which Venice still governs the world’s imagination today. A small golden circle that encloses centuries of pride, salt water, eastern winds, and light.
Dear customer, this jewel may not be available immediately, but it is reproducible and customizable
