La Chevalière Ring - Agate

Victoria Strigini

£3950

A contemporary 18k yellow gold ring featuring a Roman agate intaglio depicting a reclined lion, with a crescent moon above its head , dating from the 2 nd – 3 rd Century AD Similarly to today, the lion was the king of animals, and symbolised strength and power in Ancient Rome. Because the lion depicted on this intaglio is laying below a moon, it is likely that it represents the Nemean lion, who, in Greek mythology, was a monster whose golden fur was impenetrable, and whose sharp claws could cut through anything. Selene (Luna, Roman equivalent), Greek goddess of the Moon, was the Nemean lion's

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as VICTORIA STRIGINI LTD, number 11877053. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
