Description
Key Features:
Design & Style: Dramatic oval cabochon centerpiece (smooth, polished surface for maximum luster) nestled in a sculptural openwork gallery of stylized leaves and vines—evoking nature's artistry with a vintage flair. The wide, substantial band tapers gracefully for comfort, blending Art Deco boldness with mid-century modern vibes. Ideal as a thumb ring or index stunner.
Materials:
Solid 18K yellow gold (stamped 18K for authenticity; tested to confirm purity).
Genuine Mediterranean red coral (natural, undyed—sourced from the warm waters of the region for that signature deep, rosy hue with subtle veining).
No additional stones; pure focus on the coral's organic beauty.
Condition: Gorgeous vintage condition with a warm, lived-in patina that highlights the gold's richness—light surface scratches and wear consistent with age (circa 1960s-1970s). Coral is intact with no chips, cracks, or fading; securely set. Ready to wear or professionally polished for extra shine.
Measurements:
Cabochon: Approximately 3/4 long x 10 mm's wide – impressively sized for impact without overwhelming.
Ring face height: 1" by 3/4".
Band width: 0.3 inches (8 mm) at top, tapering to 0.15 inches (4 mm).
Ring Size: US 7 / UK O (resizing recommended for perfect fit; gold is malleable).
Weight: 5.21 grams – hefty and luxurious feel.
Provenance: From a curated estate collection of Mediterranean-inspired treasures; no engravings or hallmarks beyond the 18K stamp.
This ring isn't just an accessory—it's a conversation starter, channeling the free-spirited energy of icons like Elizabeth Taylor or modern influencers with a love for ethical, natural gems. Pair it with neutrals for contrast or gold tones for opulence!
