A jewel of great character, with an intaglio dedicated to Leda and the Swan — the most audacious scene of classical mythology on a ground that gives it a new freedom. The swan and Leda, the divine and the human, over black and white spots the classical scene opens to an unexpected vivacity. The form of the ring welcomes this composition full of volume — and each colour creates a different metamorphosis on the depths of the intaglio.
From this union came Helen of Troy and the Dioscuri. The swan as transformation of the divine: Jupiter (Zeus in Greek) choosing metamorphosis, grace as the form of love. Love as something that takes every shape — a play of echoes that keeps fascinating, across Mediterranean culture and beyond. On Dalmatian that freedom of substance finds a ground that understands it — the black and white of the Dalmatian carries its own unpredictable logic, and ancient and new find a harmony that gives the jewel a look beyond convention and of great visual impact.
The Dalmatian's spots wrap the scene with a visual rhythm that converses with the swan's feathers — black and white alternate like light and shadow on the surface of the ancient enamel.
Orange is fire and declaration — entering the pattern with an immediate energy, the scene flares up. Light Blue: sky and water — the swan in its natural element, the scene opens wide. Yellow is the most direct and luminous — black and white brighten, the cameo emerges in full evidence. Pink is faint, pastel — on Dalmatian it strikes a surprising, fully current accent, the grace of the subject turns pop and fresh.

SIZE GUIDE
Find your size
Simple steps to measure the correct size of your finger:
- Measure your finger at the end of the day;
- Do not measure your finger when it is either too hot or too cold;
- Don’t forget that our hands are not identical, and that a ring that might fit on a finger on our left hand might not fit on the same finger on our right hand;
- Please be sure to check that your selected size slides along the full length of your finger.
To measure the circumference of your finger, you can use a taylor’s tape measure, or take a look at our video demonstration for another technique (which will require a ring that fits on your selected finger.) This size corresponds to the circumference, which you must use to find your corresponding appropriate size. (S - M - L - XL)

Leda and the swan
Let destiny meet your choice.
Leda was the daughter of Thestius and the wife of Tyndareus. She has been known as the Queen of Sparta. Leda was seduced by Zeus when he came to her in the form of a swan. Leda gave birth to an egg. From it hatched the Dioscuri, the twins Castor and Pollux. With Zeus she also had Helen and with Tyndareus she had Clytemnestra. Jupiter is the supreme god of the Roman pantheon, called dies pater, “shining father”. He is a god of light and sky, and protector of the state and its laws. He is a son ofSaturn and brother of Neptune and Juno (who is also his wife). The Romans worshipped him especially as Jupiter Optimus Maximus (all-good, all-powerful). This name refers not only to his rulership over the universe, but also to his function as the god of the state who distributes laws, controls the realm and makes his will known through oracles. His English name is Jove. He had a temple on the Capitol, together with Juno and Minerva, but he was the most prominent of this Capitoline Triad. His temple was not only the most important sanctuary in Rome; it was also the center of political life. Here of official offerings were made, treaties were signed and wars were declared, and the triumphant generals of the Roman army came here to give their thanks. Other titles of Jupiter include: Caelestis (heavenly), Lucetius (of the light), Totans (thunderer), Fulgurator (of the lightning). As Jupiter Victor he led the Roman army to victory. Jupiter is also the protector of the ancient league of Latin cities. His attribute is the lightning bolt and the eagle is both his symbol and his messenger. Jupiter is completely identical with the Greek Zeus. Michelangelo (1530) London-National Gallery Leonardo (1510-1515) Roma-Galleria Borghese Robert Cockle Lucas (1800-1883) Berlin National Gallery
