THE EARRINGS:
Laid in a channel setting atop of a non-bendable gauge sterling, are little cuts of Italian coral that follow the outline & the cut out hole of the hoop & sit tightly packed side by side the other. Sandwiched between those areas are little oval cuts that fill in, what otherwise would have been bare. The hoop is hand hammered which gives textured to the oxidized metal. These are a good sized hoop earring that are very noticeable on the ear..

***FYI***:
Anyone in this business knows how much the price of Coral has climbed to & has gotten so ridiculously expensive, which makes it unaffordable for many artists to even consider buying. Coral's cost has skyrocketed up to 500% in the last three years & compared to 3 years ago when it was at about $250 a gram,it is now at $1000 a gram!!. But to make matters worse,it's because of human disturbance, based on overfishing and indirect by climate change — This has left the sea’s slow-growing red coral population in a state of decimation. Coral is now on the "Rare" list & no longer can it be fished, nor brought in the USA. (These reasons are reflected in the price) Everyday the price goes up & like real estate, it will never be the price tomorrow, as it is today.Any more,it has become an 'investment' gem.
