<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9499085, member: 2844&quot;]No there won&#039;t be any holes.</p><p>I wasn&#039;t very clear in my explanation, sorry about that.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This ring is different from the traditional ones. Traditional Bedouin coral rings are set with coral beads, which are smaller than your cab. Rings with large stones are generally set with turquoises.</p><p>This makes me think that yours was probably originally set with a large turquoise, which was replaced with a coral cab.</p><p>You can see a small gap on one side. This could be where the original stone was prised out. Maybe it was broken.</p><p><br /></p><p>Natural coral can be bright red, even a very intense dark red. Think of the amazing colours of coral reefs. Nature is wonderful.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The ring looks 1960s-70s. The cab is probably a replacement, so later.</p><p><br /></p><p>The patina will stay even if you clean it, as long as you don&#039;t use anything abrasive.</p><p>The dark &#039;stuff&#039; is either dirt or artificially blackened, I think the latter.</p><p>To me the silver looks fine as it is. If you want it shinier, you can use a sunshine cloth.</p><p>Jewellery like this shouldn&#039;t be overly polished, it will lose its character if it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
