Silver and red coral ring

This is a refined handmade silver ring inspired by the Sicilian identity.

It respects and strives to preserve the soul of “Sicilianity” combining the silver jewelry with “natural precious stones” from Sicily such as the red coral from the Mediterranean Sea.

This typically Sicilian jewelry is entirely handmade with love in Sicily by the hands of expert craftsmen.

It is graceful, elegant, and emanates a strong sense of passion. Each piece must not only be worth its intrinsic value, but transmits love, and a sense of Sicilian tradition to who wears it.

It is a memory which is kept alive from generation to generation because Sicily exists in the heart!

RED CORAL

According to Greek mythology, coral originated from the blood of Medusa, one of three Gorgons, killed by Perseus. The sea nymphs stole some drops of her blood, which on contact with seawater, turned into coral.

For centuries coral’s mythological origins have possessed features which have portrayed it as a controlling symbol of life and regeneration as well as a talisman against evil forces.

Sicilian coral has its roots in an exceptional historical parenthesis linked to the emergence in 1875 of a volcanic island from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, later called Ferdinandea. The island, now submerged, is located off the Mediterranean sea between Sciacca and Pantelleria.
