A wonderfully powerful erotic ring. The sculptural form portraying Adam and Eve clasping hands symbolizing original love. The ring shank resembles the belly of the serpent. The peridot, is approximately 12 carats, the colour of the forbidden fruit and the shape implies sexual knowledge with the pubic triangle, a symbol as old as art.
Fabulous studio piece, unmarked, probably a commission.
