SQUIRREL JEWEL SCULPTURE

Some sculptures stop you mid-step. This extraordinary SQUIRREL JEWEL SCULPTURE by sculptor Raul Rubio is one of them. Part of an exceptional jewelry-inspired animal collection, it was conceived around a single, compelling idea: that animals are nature’s finest gems — and the only fitting way to honor them is to treat each one as the jewel it truly is. 

The result is a piece that transcends the category of decorative figurine entirely. This is sculptural jewelry. This is wearable art made permanent. 

The Art Deco Soul 

Every design decision here is deliberate and deeply considered. The squirrel’s dramatic sweeping tail is rendered in bold herringbone patterns — a direct reference to the geometric precision of Art Deco, lending the piece a graphic, architectural energy that sets it apart from any conventional animal sculpture. 

The body is dressed in deep, rich black, while countless hand-painted “pearls” in a luminous pearly grey cascade across the surface — a direct homage to the pearl jewelry tradition that inspired the entire collection. And at the center of it all: two sapphire blue eyes, framed in warm golden luster, that bring the whole art sculptures for sale unmistakably to life. 

Handcrafted. Collectible. Irreplaceable. 

Finished in a combination of high-gloss glaze and 24-karat gold luster, and weighing a substantial 3.42 lb, this piece communicates its quality the moment you hold it. Handcrafted in porcelain using artisanal techniques that honor centuries of fine ceramic tradition, this is not mass production — it is a named sculptural work, signed by its creator, and made to endure. 

Launched in 2023 as part of Raul Rubio’s ongoing exploration of the jewelry-animal form, this SQUIRREL JEWEL SCULPTURE represents a remarkable fusion of two worlds: the natural and the bejeweled, the wild and the refined.
