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 beautiful salmon colored coral that pops against the matte gold surface. The clever design of the ring—which holds the bead securely on a bar through its center—allows the bead to spin, creating the sense that this ring has mystical powers.
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 4.45 grams.
We have an almost identical ring, with a slightly darker red bead, available in our shop. The rings look great stacked together.
Ring size 7.
Circa the 1980’s.
