This very petite red coral ring has an oval silver foundation on which the lapidary artist placed 12 very small coral cabs surrounding a single large one. Each small coral cab is about ⅛" long. Zuni Pueblo lapidary artists are adept at working on such a small scale.

Each of the coral cabs is set securely in a silver bezel, and there is a silver drop between each of the 12 coral cabs. The ring is exquisite and delicate.
