Angel Skin Coral Carved Flower Ring, circa 1870

About the Item

Lovely early Victorian angel skin coral ring with 10 carved stylized florets in different floral patterns, some roses, some tulips, and one large carved coral flower at the center. This ring has a 9K gold “cigar band” while the coral florets are set in a metal bed within a pie crust border. The Victorians loved angel skin coral, a red-orange or light pink colored coral, and they especially loved coral carved into cameos, flowers, or fruit. This ring has a fairly large head and is best worn alone. This ring is a US size 7 3/4.

  • Victorian Coral Stickpin of Figural Face in the Motif of the Grotesque
    Located in Baltimore, MD
    We love our wonderfully esoteric Grotesque man (or "other") crafted by a talented unknown carver in the 19th century from a chunk of the most desirable orange-red toned coral. Connoisseurs of literature or theater or the arts understand the term Grotesque as referring to fantastical, exaggerated or distorted representations, usually of the human face or figure. (The word "grotesque" originates from the Italian "grottesca", meaning of a cave" (grotto = cave in Italian) and refers to doubled, metamorphosed, or altered forms). Originally Italian, the concept of the Grotesque was used in French and German literature as well, and is a an integral part of English literature and theatre (The Theatre of the Grotesque preceded the Theatre of the Absurd) today. We find our Grotesque stickpin guy (gal) to be not grotesque at all but endearing, with his (or her) exaggerated features and droopy skin folds. And as a reference to classic theatre, this coral stickpin...
