DESCRIPTION:
Made of premium red coral,where each one of these miniature cuts follow the curvature of the hoop & are cut to fit in between the slivers of silver to create a channel of stone..They are made in a double row pattern that are sandwiched between a perimeter that has been sawed out..The coral has a high polish,mirror like finish.

Would make a perfect gift for yourself or one in your life! They are small & very wearable!! Even though Native made,you can wear these any where in the world without feeling you have to wear them with other Native American pieces!

A WORD ABOUT CORAL:

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. In recent years, the price of Coral has skyrocketed & compared to a few years ago when it was at about $250 a gram, it is now over $1000 -$3000 a gram for the ‘premium grades.

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 & up & will never be the price tomorrow, as it is today & keeps rising.. Coral has become a collectible material because of this.
