Federico Jimenez- Old Stock - Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Cluster - 4.50" Long Sterling Drop Earrings
Federico Jimenez- Old Stock - Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Cluster - 4.50" Long Sterling Drop Earrings
These sophisticated style earrings are very simple & elegant in design, while the coral’s quality dominates the earring. They’re made with premium Italian red coral that I would call a ‘‘true red’ (As opposed to the more orangey reds or pink reds). Hanging from a cluster top, are 5 vertically laid oval cuts & if you zoom in on the photos, you’ll notice at the very bottom, that these have little coral hearts!
Even though these are lengthy, these are designed with a very wearable weight, so they’ll be easy on the lobes!
***PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ***:
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, since everyday the price seems to go higher and higher... Coral has gotten so ridiculously expensive, which makes it unaffordable for many artists to even consider buying and especially for these premium grades. In fact I know many artists that are now hesitating whether to buy it or not since the price for a few carats doesn't go very far! 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.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my hardest at giving you an accurate color. Warmer toned pieces can come up much more vibrant & heavily saturated, so please take this into consideration & go through all photos to see any variation in color..
To give you close up photos that show all the detail, pictures can tend to look much more larger & everything is much more magnified than how things look when you get them in hand. .So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photos 2 and 8) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
