Red coral jewellery has always been a summer accessory and a memento of Italy. As early as the 19th century, the ever-increasing number of travelers from all over Europe bought coral jewellery as a popular souvenir. But jewelers in London, Paris, and Berlin also traded in and imported this most beautiful gift of the sea. In 1851, for example, jeweler Robert Phillips’ booth at the World’s Fair in London caused a sensation with a spectacularly large selection of Italian coral, which was acquired shortly thereafter by what is now the Victoria & Albert Museum. To this day, this jewel from the sea has lost none of its allure, as this ring demonstrates. With a large cabochon-cut coral, it pays homage to the beauty and richness of the sea. The coral displays a vibrant red colour, known in the trade as “Sardinia coral.” It is set in yellow gold and surrounded by a polished bezel. The ring was crafted in Germany in the 1950s. It is in wonderful condition and adds a splash of summery color even on gloomy days!
