Coral has held a prominent place in lore and myth across various cultures. It's often associated with protection, good luck, and healing. This ring is set with a variety of natural coral that is called Angel Skin.

Angel skin coral, also known as "peau d'ange" (French for "skin of an angel"), is a type of light pink coral, often associated with the albino variety of the species Pleurocorallium elatius. It's highly prized for its delicate, pale pink to salmon colour and is popular in jewelry design, particularly in the United States.
