An unusual and interesting antique ring, centred on a natural Mediterranean coral sphere of 11.5mm in diameter. The stone retains its natural growth lines — a detail that confirms its authenticity and gives it a character that polished or treated coral simply does not have. The warm, organic tone of the coral sits very naturally against the rose gold, the two materials sharing a similar warmth that works in the piece's favour.
The setting is a buttercup form with high pointed claws. It holds the stone with a clean, open grip that allows the full roundness of the coral to be appreciated from all angles.
Taken as a whole, the ring has a quietly geometric composition — the sphere, the buttercup setting and the band working together in a way that feels considered rather than accidental. A piece that is as interesting to look at closely as it is to wear.
