An Edwardian 18ct gold coral solitaire ring.
The large circular corallium rubrum coral set within a many-clawed rich gold mount. The coral displays a lovely slightly mottled pinky red. A great size for a gentleman’s pinky ring or womans ring.
Coral cures madness and gives wisdom. It banishes tension and fear, promoting social interaction.
It was thought to arise from the petrified seaweed covered in the blood from Medusa’s head and as such could cure snake bites or poison, warding off the evil eye.
Coral is also associated with calming seas, protecting sailors and their vessels from wind and waves in all waters.
Perfect gift for a 35th wedding anniversary.

Antique items may longer not be suitable for everyday wear or may benefit from thoughtful consideration when worn with care.
