Antique Victorian Two-Tone Coral, Pearl and Rose Cut Diamond Statement Ring

A striking late Victorian statement ring centering on an oval cabochon coral of vivid, natural red-orange hue, prized in the 19th century for both its rarity and symbolic associations with vitality and protection. The coral is framed by a halo of alternating natural pearls and glittering rose-cut diamonds, creating a rich play of color and texture characteristic of the period. The mount is beautifully executed in two tones: the shank in 18k yellow gold, while the halo is crafted in a rare alloy of palladium, gold, and silver—an innovative blend enhancing both durability and brilliance. The rose-cut diamonds, with their old-world shimmer, are emblematic of Victorian craftsmanship, while the pearls add a soft, luminous contrast. Bold in presence yet refined in detail, this ring exemplifies the grandeur and sentimentality of late 19th-century jewelry. Both fashionable and symbolic, it represents the Victorian love of natural materials, technical artistry, and jewels that made a statement.
