[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1851621, member: 2844"]I agree, Art Deco. Not typical Spanish though, we have similar rings here in the Netherlands. Maybe typical European, I don't know.:) The coral ring is more Spanish, the way it is raised on that prong construction. I have seen similar 'raised' ringfaces on Spanish rings from the 1950s and 60s. They had more elegant ringbands though. The coral is Mediterranean red coral, not orange. Official name Corallum Rubrum, which simply means red coral. I suspect it was sourced from Spanish coral banks. The colour is more salmon, but is still considered Mediterranean red. I prefer it to the more intense red. Italian Sciacca coral is generally pale salmon, Adria coral from the Adriatic Sea can occasionally be more orangey, but they are all Mediterranean red coral.[/QUOTE]
