THE CUFF:
Using only some of the most exquisite and finest dark red coral sourced from Sciacca, Italy, this stunning cuff truly speaks for itself without the need for any additional words! Federico’s exceptional designs are renowned for achieving this effect, where they not only make the wearer feel extraordinarily worthy and valued, but they also convey a sense of power and sophistication that is both striking and timeless.
Considered a premium, high quality coral cuff, this exquisite piece was thoughtfully designed with the discerning "connoisseur" in mind, who desires nothing less than the very best! It embodies exceptional workmanship, and whether it features Federico's esteemed name or showcases superior material quality, this cuff is designed to impress and meet the highest standards of luxury.
This stunning cuff is meticulously crafted with a total of 20 beautifully arranged stones (per row) that lay horizontally, complemented by 6 skillfully cut stones (per row) that are positioned vertically, resulting in an impressive overall total of 120 rectangular-shaped cuts. The coral used in this piece is matched in both color saturation and size, which greatly contributes to the strikingly uniform appearance of the cuff, as well as its overall balanced aesthetic appeal. Each piece of coral is considered to be of "Fine" quality, and every individual stone within this cuff is a premium grade. The rich color can be aptly described as a deep red & for those of you that are familiar with color theory and or the color wheel, these cuts would be classified as a "Blue/Red," representing the darkest and most vibrant of reds.
Each cut is bezel set atop of an extremely heavy, gauge sterling. The cuff is solid & is very durable in feel , which will be one of the 1st things you notice when you get it in hand. Its a real keeper that has nothing BUT 'quality' written all over it & can be passed on from generation to generation!
SIZING:
Because of the design & sterling’s gauge , this cannot be adjusted, so it's of extreme importance that you know your wrist size and what gap opening works best for it to comfortably fit over the arm before purchasing
This is made for a small sized wrist that's on the small boned side. Having a smaller 1-1/8" gap opening, the gap has a lot to do with your arm size.. (or wrist area) So the bigger the arm, the wider the gap should be. The skinnier your arm is, then you want to go with a smaller gap opening.
Cuff's are one of the only bracelets that HAVE to fit properly, so If you're unsure, click on this link: How To Fit A Cuff. And while there, be sure to copy/paste the You Tube link, which shows you the “Proper” way to put a cuff on! I am an email away, so don't hesitate in getting in touch with me if you need!
***FOR YOUR INFORMATION:***:
This Coral is from "Old Stock" since Coral is now on the rare list & can no longer be fished, nor brought in the USA.(These reasons are reflected in the price) Because of supply, buyers are collecting what they can for these reasons.. I can’t help but when I look at coral anymore, I look at it with dollar signs, because of what artists are now having to pay for it. Coral has gotten so ridiculously expensive, which makes it unaffordable for many artists to even consider buying and especially for these premium grades. In the last 3 or so years, Coral's cost has skyrocketed up to 500% & compared to a few years back when it was at about $250 a gram, it is now well over $1000 a gram & the less availability, the higher the price will increase & will never be the price tomorrow, as it is today.
PRICING IS BASED ON: Artist reputation, sterling cost at time of purchase, the artist’s time, the quality of the Coral, the cost per carat for natural, untreated gem quality grade coral and the amount of carats, are all reflected in price.
