Description from the seller
Antique solid silver ring 925 with coral - Berber artisanal craftsmanship / Maghreb (16.07 g)
Superb imposing ring in 925 sterling silver, adorned with a generous composition of red coral. It is a beautiful work of antique artisanal goldsmithing, typical of North African ethnic aesthetics.
The ring's setting, oval and domed in shape, is structured with concentric rows of coral in cylindrical and round forms. The silver mount is richly crafted with twisted motifs (filigree) and granulation that frame each stone, a traditional technique of Berber jewelers.
The ring has a beautiful natural patina that highlights the reliefs and testifies to its age. The '925' punch mark is stamped inside the band.

Material: Sterling silver (hallmarked 925)
Main material: Red coral (sticks and cabochons)
