MEL - Yellow gold cognac diamond ring with lion.

Eyes in your eyes.

I am not a wildlife photographer, but my first trip to Africa taught me a lot about the majesty of mother nature and the importance of waiting.

A lion hiding in the grass, waiting for the perfect moment to launch a rapid surprise attack.

A gradual red African sunset. The torrid heat in the middle of the day and the cold of the night.

Stars appearing in the sky as the night crawls in outside the lodge.

Adapting, waiting, defending the prey.

I have learned how to move on in a world fraught of uncertainties and made this taught my self-guidance.

What is the prize for this?

Mel made it for me. It is a lion’s head with sparkling eyes.

More than a simple ring: a wonderful sculpture.

To wear a symbol of strength and pride on my hand.
