18K and Coral Large Vintage Ring, Circa 1960
18K yellow gold large and bold ring centering a deep red/orange (oxblood) natural coral bead measuring 15.5 in diameter. The coral is even in color. Underneath the stone, there is a slight color change typical of natural coral.
This hand made ring is studded with yellow gold balls throughout. Marked 18K (750%) this ring weighs 30.3 grams. It is in fine condition and a size 7.25. It can be sized. This ring is unique because the coral is such a large and fine piece and the designer of this ring has created the perfect ring to set off the fine coral.
This ring is hand crafted with fine detail. Each sphere was formed and applied separately - a painstakingly difficult and time consuming art. This ring epitomizes this decade when large and striking gold jewelry was very popular. Today, '60's jewelry is widely collected.
Please note our model is a medium to large size.
