Gem carving of the ‘Lion of Judea’ on a Citrine Gem

The “lion of Judea” artwork

The “Lion of Judea” necklace with a matching Amethyst and Lapis Pendant

Inspired by the “Lion of Judea” from the Bible. I carved a Citrine Teardrop gem to show a Poppy on the top crown facet and the ‘Lion of Judea” on the back pavilion. The left side is carved with a Lion and the right side has a portrait of Jesus with a crown of thorns.

The size is 30mm tall by 25mm wide by 20mm thick. I talk about the wonderful effect where you can see the eyes through the top of the gem while also gazing at the Poppy. This is the name of the daughter.

This was the center of a necklace, that also had Amethyst and Art Deco diamond detailing on each side. The piece was attached to a Lapis Lazuli bead necklace. Designed for the husband to give to his wife for their anniversary.
