To me it has more of a Chinese look. North American coral rings that I`m familar with are Native American designs of a more organic shape and mostly combined with turquoise. Could it be Southern European?
Looks good, whatever, Preethi.
I agree, TH, just wasn`t sufficiently sure of myself to add those.
some more photos. i guess i have idea. not sure.
where did you buy it ??
I would say that it may be Mexican though I can't say for sure. I have seen similar dome rings from Mexico with similar design and the same florets, usually made with turquoise though and with a thin adjustable band. Is the band on your ring adjustable?
Thanks everyone!
The band's not adjustable, Nada. I guess the best thing would be for me to post a photo of the back of the ring. Will do that tomorrow.
This looks Italian, maybe Sicilian. I don't think Mexican or Native American,, see my own bracelet. It's not the same but has a similar feeling. Can you show the back of it, might be easier to tell what it is if the ring part is shown. does it have any marks on it?
