Vintage Tibetan Handmade Silver-Plated Coral & Turquoise Ring | Himalayan Statement Ring Estate Jewelry
This eye-catching statement ring is a genuinely old piece, sourced from an antique shop in Northern India and handmade in the Tibetan tradition. The metal is silver-plated, most likely over a brass base, consistent with much vintage Himalayan tribal jewelry. The large oval face is set with round coral cabochon beads encircling a central oval turquoise chip mosaic inlay, with granulated dot detailing separating the concentric rings of stone. Scrolling filigree openwork finishes the outer edge for added texture and shine, while the sides of the setting are accented with raised spiral medallion motifs. The band itself is inlaid with a crushed turquoise mosaic, extending the ring’s rich color palette all the way around. Note the chips of green turquoise within the crushed mosaics on both front and back.
With its bold silhouette, traditional coral and turquoise color combination, and genuine age and provenance, this ring has strong appeal for collectors of antique Tibetan and Himalayan jewelry, tribal and ethnic silver work, and vintage statement rings with history. Coral and turquoise carry longstanding associations with protection and vitality in Tibetan adornment, making this piece both decorative and symbolically rich.
A wonderful addition to any boho or eclectic jewelry collection, and a thoughtful gift for lovers of authentic handcrafted Himalayan silverwork.
