We’ve seen a few Victorian coral rings in our day but none quite like this. Like one of Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures, the carving in this ring is implied at the edges and the remainder left en cabochon for your eye to infer. We invite you to gaze at this elongated carving and let your inner sculptor infer away, though be warned that time passes quickly when in jewelry bliss. Antique coral such as this is hard to come by, especially in this depth of color and large size, and the modernist carving sets it truly apart. Bezel set in 10 karat rosy gold with openwork scrolls in the gallery and a petit heart where the shank meets the gallery.

This ring is in excellent antique condition. Presently a size 6 and can be resized.
