Tibetan Silver Saddle Ring

Three coral cabochons set in a wide silver band.

Tibetan silversmiths made this saddle ring in coral and silver. Broad rings of this style are commonly worn by men and women across the Himalayan region, and coral is widely valued there as a gem. A large central coral stone sits in a beaded setting, flanked by two smaller stones. The band widens toward the face, with scrolls and fine granulation around the settings. The silver has a soft, aged shine.

A ring with a wide face and strong opinions. Wear it, or display it on a stand.
