Italian Coral and Diamond Ring, circa 1968.
A striking geometric ring crafted in Italy in 1968, featuring bold rectangular plaques of orangey-red coral set in polished 18kt gold. The design reflects the modernist aesthetics of the late 1960s, when Italian jewelers embraced clean lines, architectural forms, and vibrant color contrasts. The use of coral — a material deeply rooted in Mediterranean tradition — lends warmth and organic beauty to this otherwise sculptural, contemporary composition.
Two coral plaques and single-cut diamond shoulders. The coral has an edgy 70s orange hue, one plaque with tiny cavity, the diamonds are bright and lively.
