These are made with an exceedingly elegant & chic aesthetic & are richly designed with the beauty of Sicilian Red Coral which can now be called the ‘gold (or diamonds) of the sea’! (Read FYI Below) Made for the culturally sophisticated woman who has a thirst for ‘fine’ quality jewelry! This coral comes from Sciacca Sicily where the best coral comes from & are made in a 3 tiered design of various shaped cuts of both the deeper red & a ’tomato soup’ color. They have a very “Deco’ edginess & are made in an elongated chandelier cluster style earring that are not ‘over the top’ & outrageously huge, but rather having that ‘just perfect’ length, without a lot of weight. (See weights below) 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 & 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. & like gold,it has become an ‘investment’ gem.

If you’re not home in the day & need it shipped where it can be signed for,please change that in your “Ship To” section before I create the shipping label PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color without a whole lot of photo editing being done except to get rid of unwanted tones.I photographed these in front of 2 different colored backdrops, so please go through photos to see any variation. To give you close ups,pictures tend to look much more larger & much more more magnified than in actuality. Close up’s make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photo 2 ) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
