This very petite ring has a solid silver foundation on which the lapidary artist placed 20 very small coral cabs. Each small coral cab is miniature. It's amazing that an artist could work on such a small scale. Each of the coral cabs is set securely in a silver bezel, The ring is small in size and delicate in appeal.
It is debatable whether to refer to the coral cabs as Petit Point or snake eyes. The latter is probably more accurate, but snake eyes is a "turn off" to some people. Regardless of terminology, the coral is a beautiful display on the silver backing.
