A Leo herself, Delphine dreamed up theBoheme Petit Lion charm as a smaller version, a cub to her original title="Link to the larger size of the 18k recycled gold Boheme Grand Lion Medaille" href=" target="_blank">Boheme Grand Lion

She envisioned a scaled down yet powerfulcreaturepeacefully gazing into the distance, both watchful and meditative, its lush and wild mane swaying in the breeze slightly off the medallion frame.

Delphine hand sculptedthemajestic catin one setting at her jeweler's bench and crafted it out of solid 18k gold, always recycled, so you can feel the comforting heft ofLe Lionstandingguard over you as it swingson the chain around your neck.

A fierce protector of its family, the lion is a symbol of strength, courage, fearlessness and inner wisdom.

In astrology,it embodies Leo, andthestrong energy of the sun, the rulingcelestial body for this sign. In tarot,it graces thestrength card, and is an auspicious sign of inner power and our ability of overcome anything thrown our way.

Capable of much feared wrath when necessary, this powerful and empowering archetype revered since ancient times and across cultures is a mighty talisman to add to your charm story.As always withDelphine's jewels, she encourages you to take the meaning that resonates with you and leave the rest.

This jewel was hand crafted in the heart of Manhattan's jewelry district. The roughness of the background gold texture is intentional, a nice contrast to the smooth shine of the lion, giving the piece the well-weathered look of a found treasure.

The charm is about 20/21mm wide/high, and ithangs on a 5mm hoop. It isabout thesize of a 5 coin, andslightly smaller than 1 coin.
