Description

A hauntingly beautiful ring from the Arts and Crafts era, carved in rich orange Mediterranean coral and set in silver with softly rounded shoulders.

At its heart is an enigmatic face, not a saint or deity, but a quiet, contemplative presence. Perhaps a muse, a memory, or a figure from story or dream, captured forever in warm, organic stone.

Handmade around 1900, this piece reflects a time when jewellery was deeply personal. The carving feels hand-done, imperfect in the best way - full of character and emotion that lingers.

The slight irregularities in the bezel, the prongs, and the silver work aren’t flaws but fingerprints of the maker. They’re what give the piece its depth and presence.

This ring likely belonged to someone with a thoughtful, independent spirit: an artist, a writer, or simply someone who saw jewellery not as status, but as a form of quiet expression.

Set in silver and sized at UK O, it’s a quietly distinctive ring - unisex in style, timeless in presence, and made to be worn with purpose.

Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
