Antique Art Nouveau ring made of 14-karat gold with a cameo carved from natural coral and small decorative diamonds, circa 1900, in excellent condition for its age.

The cameo depicts the profiled bust of a lady, carved from coral in salmon-orange hues. It is set in an oval gold frame with delicate openwork, where two small old-cut diamonds stand out on the shoulders of the ring. The structure has a distinctly modernist aesthetic, with organic and delicate curves that create a striking contrast between the metal and the stone.

This type of cameo may have been reused from an earlier piece of jewelry, later incorporated into a custom-made setting, a common practice at the time for preserving sentimental or family heirlooms. During the Art Nouveau period, coral was especially valued for its visual warmth and its connection to nature.

Ideal as an alternative engagement ring, a special gift for Victorian jewelry collectors, or a standout piece in a private collection.

Weight: 3.28 grams. Ring dimensions: 17.4 mm, approximately US size 7.

Composition: 14-karat gold, coral, and two diamonds. Hallmarked. Acid-tested.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
