18 Carat Yellow Goldplate and Genuine Onyx Scottish Rite Knight Rose Croix ring depicting the Mother Pelican feeding her young with blood from her own breast. Because a very thick layer of real 18 Carat Gold is plated over a special Jewellers Brass the ring has the weight and appearance of genuine high end jewellery. This is as close as you can get to having the look and feel of the real thing for a fraction of the price.
