Victorian 15ct Gold & Carved Labradorite Ring of a Monkey

799 R
240 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 18ct gold ring with a Roman setting of a monkey’s head carved out of labradorite with tiny rose diamonds for his eyes.   Monkey jewellery has many symbolic meanings and was used as a protective good luck token in ancient cultures which regarded the monkey as an intelligent and wise animal.   Labradorite was once believed to have formed from the Aurora Borealis and it’s not difficult to see why as the stone shimmers and changes colour, reflecting the magic of the natural world, showing flashes of luminescent green.  It was made circa 1880-1900.
