Antique 9K, Diamond & Coral Ring

 Ancient Romans believed that wearing coral would protect children, and hung pieces of it around their necks. Women wore it as a charm against sterility. It was thought to quiet tempests and insure that the wearer would never be struck by lightening. The stone became very popular during the Victorian Era, where it was incorporated, usually by Italian jewelers, into all forms of decorative wear. The bright, warm hue and the lore of protection appealed to the symbolic trends of the time.

This wonderful coral cabochon ring has a 'cage' of heart motifs enclosing the stone. Witches hearts, to be exact-another symbol of protection! For that extra bit of flash, a twinkling diamond rests in the center. With a smooth, substantial shank, it can be worn all day long with comfort! A beautiful piece that will make you feel just like a Victorian every time you put it on!
