Vintage 18K Gold Sardinian Red Coral Bead and Claw Ring

In this 18k gold vintage ring, a three-dimensional claw rises up and clasps a coral bead. The claw is impressively lifelike, with a matte texture and intricate detail. The bead is a rich Sardinian red coral that pops against the matte gold surface. The bead is held securely in place by a bar through its center. This ring evokes a sense of mystical power. 

The ring is marked 750. The ring’s band is just under 1/8” wide. The claw measures 7/16” across and the bead sits 7/16” high. The ring weighs 4.5 grams. 

We have an almost identical ring, with a salmon colored bead, available in our shop. The rings look great stacked together. 

Ring size 7. 

Circa the 1980’s.
