This stone is of bullet shape which is rare as I have not seen another. The stone sits proudly in a bezel-style setting atop a wide, architecturally bold band that tapers elegantly toward the shank. The shoulders of the ring are adorned with an all-over engraved star motif, hand-chased across the matte gold surface, lending a celestial decorative quality to the piece. A polished leaf or flame-shaped cutout detail on either side adds sculptural dimension and visual interest. An interior hallmark is visible, suggesting European origin. The combination of the vivid coral, generous proportions, and detailed gold work makes this a commanding and collectible vintage statement ring. See less
