Victorian Coral, Pearl, and Diamond Ring

This half hoop ring was hand-carved during the victorian era and has a gorgeous angelskin coral cabochon set as the centre stone.
The coral is accented by pearls and diamonds. 

Coral has been used in jewellery since ancient times, often attributed with gods and goddesses and was very popular during the victorian era.
Coral is rare now and cannot be obtained for modern jewellery unless it comes from "recycled sources" due to bans on extracting coral since the 1970s. 

The coral in this ring is original and in perfect condition. It is a round cabochon cut.
The ring is hand-carved from 18 karat yellow gold and currently size: 6 ¾.
We would date this ring to be from the victorian era, circa: 1870s-1880s
