Vedic Oxblood (Red) Coral Ring 1.10 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a 1.10 carat pear shape oxblood coral, precision cut as a cabochon to preserve the stone's organic body and to maximize surface luster. The specimen measures 9.19 x 6.18 x 3.23 mm, and presents as opaque with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish that yields a satiny, high sheen typical of premium Mediterranean coral. Clarity assessment is not applicable, evaluated at eye level, and the cabochon cut emphasizes uniform color distribution and the deep, saturated red that defines oxblood coral. The lapidary work shows careful shaping to a symmetrical pear outline, with a smooth, continuous dome and edge beveling that both protect the girdle and ensure a precise seating in the mounting. The coral is sourced from Italy, with full provenance documentation and supplier audits that verify compliance with local harvesting regulations and sustainable collection practices, providing traceability from harvest to finished piece.

The mounting is executed in 18K yellow gold, engineered as a full bezel setting to provide structural security and a low profile for everyday wear. The bezel is formed to the pear outline, hand contoured to the stone dimensions for an intimate collet fit, and soldered and finished to a mirror polish that complements the coral's surface. The band is a rounded shank with consistent section through the shoulders, designed to balance the bezel and control stress distribution at the seat. All fabrication steps are completed using traditional bench techniques and precision machining where appropriate, followed by hand finishing to remove tool marks and achieve uniform surface quality. The Natural Gemstone Company sources gold through audited supply chains, including responsibly sourced and recycled material options, and maintains chain of custody records for both metal and gemstone components. This attention to material provenance and benchcraft produces a ring that combines technical rigour, protective setting design, and ethically verified sourcing, suitable for connoisseurs who prioritize both material integrity and meticulous craftsmanship.
