{"product_id":"vintage-15ct-gold-silver-rose-diamond-ruby-owl-ring","title":"Vintage 15ct Gold, Silver, Rose Diamond \u0026 Ruby Owl Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully charming vintage owl ring, believed to date to the late 20th century, featuring a delightful owl's face set with sparkling rose-cut diamonds and two vivid ruby eyes, mounted in silver above an ornate 15ct yellow gold band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe owl's face is beautifully detailed, with its large, expressive ruby eyes surrounded by tiny rose-cut diamonds, while the silver setting has been darkened to create a lovely contrast against the warmth of the gold. The decorative gold shoulders feature elegant scrolling forms, giving the ring a wonderfully characterful appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough not an antique, this ring takes its inspiration from the animal jewellery so popular during the Victorian period. The Victorians had a particular fascination with the natural world, and birds, insects and animals frequently appeared in their jewellery, often carrying a hidden meaning or sentimental message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwls have long been associated with wisdom, knowledge and intuition. In ancient Greek mythology, the owl was sacred to Athena, goddess of wisdom, and became a symbol of learning and understanding. Their mysterious nocturnal habits also gave them associations with watchfulness, secrets and the ability to see what others cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of rose-cut diamonds, ruby eyes and silver-topped gold gives this little owl all the charm of an earlier jewel, while its later manufacture makes it a more accessible alternative to a comparable Victorian original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully playful ring, full of personality and symbolism. Perfect for anyone with a love of owls, unusual jewellery or simply something a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA charming vintage interpretation of a much-loved Victorian design, and a lovely reminder that jewellery doesn't always have to take itself too seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57644184600949,"sku":"219M","price":895.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/vintage-15ct-gold-silver-rose-diamond-ruby-owl-ring-9565994.jpg?v=1791920368","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/es\/products\/vintage-15ct-gold-silver-rose-diamond-ruby-owl-ring","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
