Vintage Carved Black Coral Ring from Hawaii. This is a large and rare ring carved from a single piece of natural black coral. You can see the brown rings and veining in the center,  which gives it lots of character. This vintage ring has a modernist style and measures 1¾ x 1¼ across the face. It is a wonderful unisex design in a large size 9.5. For many years people have believed coral has protective powers. It was often gifted to children and relatives. 

You will be surprised by the feel of black coral and how light weight it is. This coral has been polished to get a beautiful very shiny surface with an even black color. In the 1950's Hawaiian black coral was found at extreme depths exceeding 175 feet. It has long been a Hawaiian favorite gemstone. Once abundant in the Persian Gulf area and other oceans, but that has been exhausted. 

• Ring Size: 9.5
• Circa 1970's
