Featured Antique Dutch gold and coral rings.

For years I've been looking for a ring to go with my heirloom coral necklace. Some of you may remember it, here is the clasp:


Whenever I wore it (not very often), I wore an Art Nouveau coral ring with it. But me being me, I had to find a ring of the same period, etc, etc.
And for a reasonable price, I am Dutch and antiquer after all.
After decades of searching, I finally found one, and the same week another one. They are not exactly the same execution as the clasp, but from the same region, Zeeland, and close enough imo.
So I bought both:


The one on the left is the same period as the necklace, 1840s. Slightly too big for me, but who cares. Besides, I have those transparent spiral ringsizer thingies to put around the back.
The one on the right is 1860s, the size is right for me, and it is less fragile.
They are 18k and 14k (can't remember which is which), and the coral is red Mediterranean, the coral of choice in The Netherlands.

"So I bought both " A woman after my own heart ! Lovely rings,my grandmother was fond of coral as well.

 

The rings are beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

 

Both are gorgeous. Nice story about finding them one after the other like that. Congratulations.

 

They are beautiful

 

Stunning. Enjoy your new treasures.

 

Thank you everyone, I certainly enjoy them.

Didn't know which one to chose, and after all, two hands.

 

You know... We can never have too much beautiful jewels!

 

Absolutely! One of the necessities of life....

 

Glad you treated yourself. Enjoy both them.

 

Thank you. I will.

 

Beautiful pieces! Thank you for showing them. Enjoy!

 

Now you need the coral bracelet to go with them?

 

You know me too well!
I have been looking, but they are very expensive. And with the same beaded strands as the necklace, which doesn't really work with someone as clumsy as I am.
I always wear cuff bracelets, they are still safe with me. Of course I do bang those into furniture occasionally.

 

I wear cuffs and bangles mostly; the beaded ones tend to get hung on things and make me crazy. There might be some Turkish pieces made in a similar fashion that would coordinate if not match.

 

I've never seen those.
But they wouldn't be the same thing, would they.
