A single red coral cab in longitudinal shape is beautifully clasped with a silver bezel with sawtooth edges that clamp over the coral in a graceful manner. From the coral cab, an elongated silver shadowbox frame burst with sun rays, immensely highlighting the coral. The ring is long and slim with elegance.

The coral sits in a shadow box arrangement which would indicate that it probably dates to the 1970s, when shadow box jewelry was in demand.
