Venetian Moeca Lion Ring

Absolutely handmade Moeca lion ring, lion diameter size mm.17 made of 18 kt red or yellow white gold and also in high-grade 925 silver or 24 kt gold-plated silver versions, the ring depicts the famous Venetian winged lion Moeca. History: in the Venetian dialect the word moeca has two meanings linked to tradition: it is associated both with the effigy of the winged lion of San Marco, symbol of the city, which rises from the waters (el leon en moeca), and with the local crab (common riparian crab Carcinus Mediterraneus) in the moulting phase also called fried soft crabs (fried moeche). This delicacy is also called the Venetian nugget.
