Victorian 15k Gold Sardonyx Elephant Fob heraldic A spectacular Burmese ruby cabochon

A spectacular Burmese ruby cabochon looking for all the world like a strawberry Glacier Fruit (with a slight pinkish undertone)

Please note that to colouration of this particular piece differs from Bryant's description - the mould used to create the figure

my favourite parts are the enamel work to the back and sides

and other semi-precious stones into their designs

It's modelled in alexandrite
