<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 294493, member: 2844&quot;]For years I&#039;ve been looking for a ring to go with my heirloom coral necklace. Some of you may remember it, here is the clasp:</p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/dsc07891-640x362-jpg.74681/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>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.</p><p>And for a reasonable price, I am Dutch and antiquer after all.</p><p>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.</p><p>So I bought both<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]95632[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]95633[/ATTACH]</p><p>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.</p><p>The one on the right is 1860s, the size is right for me, and it is less fragile.</p><p>They are 18k and 14k (can&#039;t remember which is which), and the coral is red Mediterranean, the coral of choice in The Netherlands.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
