Peacock Handmade Cameo ring mounted on silver 925 (adjustable)
According to one version of the myth, the main one, the peacock has become the symbol of love and renaissance.
This ring is a jewel that you can give to yourself or someone you love as a symbol of rebirth after a dark period.
The ancient Romans called the peacock the ‘Bird of Juno’ and it accompanied the souls of empresses to the afterlife. In Persian tradition it represented royalty, beauty and immortality.
In China, the peacock is sacred to Kwan-Yin, the celestial Goddess of Compassion. This goddess renounced immortality to guide men along the path of spiritual evolution, of which the peacock is a symbol.
A cameo is a piece of jewellery made by engraving a shell, in particular Cypraecassis rufa, Cassis madascarensis and Cassis cornuta, because these shells of the Cassis family have a surface consisting of two distinct layers of colour, which allows the figure in relief to be clearly isolated from the background. In Torre del Greco, near Naples, cameo work is still carried out by craftsmen from Torre del Greco who hand down the tradition from father to son.
