Victorian Angel Skin Coral, Pearl & Rose-Cut 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. 

Natural coral has been prized in jewellery since antiquity, often attributed with gods and goddesses, and was especially fashionable during the Victorian era. Antique coral jewels have become increasingly sought after, as the harvesting of many coral species is now heavily restricted, making original period examples increasingly difficult to replace.

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
