Description
Coral has been treasured since ancient times for its beautiful, distinctive palette of hues and its beautiful lustre when polished. The coral cabochon at the heart of this ring is the perfect warm, marbled orangey pink for which this organic gemstone is best known, and under magnification displays its beautifully intricate natural structure – a wood-like grain created throughout the coral’s growth, most likely in the Mediterranean sea – historically the richest source of gem coral. Set in a delicate early 20th century mount pavé-set with transitional circular-cut diamonds, this is a beautiful and elegant ring, perfect for special occasions.
