Give her the gift of sapphires and genuine Mediterranean coral, set in 18K gold. This ring offers over 10 grams of classic European style and perfection. New sale price plus always free shipping.

This is a perfect addition to your jewelry wardrobe, whether dressy or casual! It is a custom Italian 18K yellow gold ring designed with eight marquis shaped angelskin coral cabochons and ELEVEN brilliant cut deep blue sapphires. The elaborate setting features a beautiful high domed ballerina design with prong set cabochons, measuring 11 by 6mm, and sapphires that measure 3mm each. The genuine Mediterranean coral cabochons are a very pleasing and uniform shade of light pink--like the skin of an angel. The contrast in colors is gorgeous. From the 1960's, this one of a kind ring is no shrinking violet and is certain to draw a lot of attention.

The face of the ring measures 1 inch in diameter and the dome rises off the finger an amazing 15mm (over 1/2"). The cabochons hover above an ornate basket setting. Very beautiful and very comfortable, as well. The prongs have been reviewed at the jewelers and are all very tight and perfectly positioned for security. This also assures the prongs will not be likely to snag clothing or material. This ring is a size 7. It weighs a very hefty 10.1 grams as the craftsmanship is superb as only the Italians seem able to provide. Big and bold as a forefinger ring also.

All of the coral cabochons are in excellent condition with no cracks or chips, or replacements. The 18K solid gold setting is also in excellent condition with no damage or repairs. Each of the stones is firmly prong set, all being present, and tight and smooth to the touch. It is in mint perfect original condition and ready to wear.

Coral is graded based on size, color and weight (density), trading by the GRAM. Angelskin coral is no longer available for harvesting, being part of the ban that was imposed in the 1970's, and makes a great investment choice that you can wear and enjoy!

We have seen confusion around the world and other sites as to the naming of coral colors. The primary colors of precious coral are red, oxblood red, salmon (peach), pink, angelskin, white, blush and everything in between. We tend to follow the designations of the fine Italian coral artisans, as they are the best in the world (as is their coral). All are Mediterranean and red is known as Sardinian, oxblood is more purplish red and usually also Sardinian, SOLID salmon or dark peachy pink is Sciacca, and SOLID pink is angelskin. This last one deviates from the origin of the name angelskin, which refers to the more white color with a uniform pink hue (like the skin of an angel). We also consider this to be angelskin as most of the world does (except the Italians, who call it pink coral). I have emphasized Solid above because this is the very finest coral in the world and the colors are very, very uniform. They may have a little black (crevasses) or white spots (veins) but are in general very uniform in color and the variances assure you the coral is undyed and natural. The degree of there uniformity is a grading consideration similar to how diamonds might be graded as to color. These SOLID colors (Sardinian, Sciacca, Angelskin) along with SOLID white (Ionian Sea and VERY, VERY rare as the lack of light to achieve pigmentation is only found at extreme depths) are the most precious and valuable corals in the world. Blush and other variations can also be precious coral (primarily if they are Mediterranean), although not quite as valuable as solid colors, but still investment grade, durable and beautiful. Black coral is becoming more popular and the finest grades are being found in the South Seas (Hawaii) and the Caribbean. It is less dense, but very pretty and unusual. Corals from other regions may be classified gem quality, but very rarely reach precious grade and should be much, much less expensive and valuable. Unless you are looking for non-investment grade, costume coral jewelry, avoid coral described as gemstone quality (AAA, AA, A, etc), sponge, apple, root, brain, Batti, dyed, treated, crushed, reconstituted etc.

I hope this little tutorial has helped. These cabochons are Mediterranean in origin, a very uniform, solid light pink and definitely precious grade coral. The Finest Available! We GUARANTEE It,

Hefty weight (density) is a major determining factor of high quality coral and this set definitely qualifies. Slow growth, in some cases 1mm per year, in cold waters is what precipitates the compacted density of quality coral for jewelry. Warm water coral grows much more quickly, and therefor will be more porous and lightweight. Precious coral is no longer being harvested and coral dealers predict a drastic shortage of this sweet gem from the sea. And, it never goes out of style and a perfect accessory for dressy or casual occasions.

This is a beautiful piece of jewelry any woman would be proud to own and pass on to future generations. I am sure you will include this ring to be amongst your finest pieces as it has it all. It would certainly draw oohs and ahhs as a gift deluxe! Mix and match it with one of our necklaces, brooches, a pair of our coral earrings or a bracelet.
