Jewel made entirely by hand by the Italian craftsman Gianmarco Fontana. Ring depicting a scorpion made of 925 silver, which is part of the "Animalia" collection.

Like arachnids, scorpions have organs near their mouths called chelicerae, a pair of pedipalps, and four pairs of legs. The pincer-shaped pedipalps are mainly used for catching prey and for defense, but are also covered with different types of sensory hair. The body is divided into two main areas, the cephalothorax and the abdomen. The cephalothorax is covered on top by a carapace (or head shell) which usually has a pair of median eyes and 2 to 5 pairs of lateral eyes on the periphery of the head (some cave scorpions have no eyes).
