Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things
Offering lovely pale peachy-pink hues, this particular shade of coral is often referred to as angel skin. Cut into elongated cabochon ovals that have been polished to feel as smooth as silk – these coral stones are handset into a wonderfully carved 18 karat yellow gold ring. These rings were made in the 1870’s, during the Mid-Victorian era.
Aptly dubbed half-hoop rings or carved rings, these beauties were extremely popular. The side detail of the ring, a series of looped prongs are the very thing that earned this style its nickname.
A vast variety of multi-colored gems were set within these rings, including coral. This luscious gem is now rare, it can only be used from recycled sources. Coral has long been a symbol of modesty, wisdom, happiness and immortality. These stones are accented by a series of eight tiny rose cut diamonds, adding the perfect amount of sparkle. Priced at $1,080.00 – this beauty is available in Joe’s Special Box.
