Gabriella Beads Lion

Bold as its subject, this hand-poured enamel charm bead carries the lion in a saturated poinsettia red. It is one of the more assertive characters in the Gabriella Beads menagerie, a small emblem of courage coloured by hand rather than by machine.

The bead is built on brass and plated in rhodium, a bright silvery setting that lets the red do the talking, and the metal is nickel- and lead-free. Wear it where it will be noticed: centred on a bead bracelet, or dropped from a pendant chain among simpler links.
