EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY - Federico Jimenez -Premium Grade - 108 Stone - Mediterranean Blood Red Coral Cluster- Heavy Gauge Sterling Cuff- 6-3/8" Wrist
THE CUFF:
Using only THE finest blood red coral from Italy, this is an outstanding & extremely eye catching cuff that has nothing less than WOW factor! Considered the "ULTIMATE" coral cuff, this was made with the "connoisseur" in mind, who wants nothing less than the best, either with Federico's name attached & or material quality!
This drop dead gorgeous cuff is made with 18 stones that lay horizontally & 6 cuts that lay vertically for a total of 108 horizontally set oval cuts. The coral is flawlessly matched in both color saturation & size, in which the latter is what greatly contributes to the uniform look the cuff has, as well as for it's balanced appeal. This coral is considered "Fine" & is a PREMIUM grade.. The color is called "Blood Red" or "Ox Blood" & if you are familiar with color or the color wheel, these cuts would be considered a "Blue/Red" which is the darkest of reds. Each cut is bezel set atop of a heavy thick gauge sterling that's been oxidized below the cuts. The cuff is solid & has a very durable feel & in no way does it feel flimsy & light! Its a real keeper that has nothing BUT 'quality' written all over it & can be passed on from generation to generation!
**********************
WRIST SIZE:
This is made for a smaller/medium sized wrist but for one that doesn't need a large gap opening since it has only a 1" gap opening.. This is NOT adjustable. Please know your wrist size before purchasing since cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet, it is important they fit right!

***FYI***:
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 grabbing all they can for these reasons.. 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 few years, Coral's cost has skyrocketed up to 500% & compared to a few years ago when it was at about $250 a gram, it is now over $1000 a gram & the less availability, the higher the price will increase & will never be the price tomorrow, as it is today.
