EXCEPTIONAL! Federico Jimenez- Old Stock / Superb Quality -Mediterranean Red Coral Floral Cluster - 4 Tier Sterling Earrings with Coral "HEARTS"!
"EACH DAY IS VALENTINE'S DAY"
Dripping in nothing but the finest coral, these are what I would call a 'PERFECTLY" designed coral cluster earring, that even I, hate to sell! They are that gorgeous!
Not only is the coral of optimal quality, but the design is impeccable, which allow these cuts to lay perfect in their cluster/tiered setting. Having a good eye to precisely hand pick each & every cut so well, is what gives the overall design of the earring their over the top-chic look!
The floral cluster top is an earring in itself, so it's pretty big.. The anchored from this portion are 3 long dangles that are made up of 4 tiers of coral with 3 of the tiers being designed with elongated oval cuts & then are finalized with little coral hearts!!!! (See all photos & especially photo 6)
The color goes from a "red to a deep "red-red" color, (as opposed to orange/red) with some cuts being on the edge of what is called an "Ox Blood" color red. The cuts are very clean with only a few having very slight inherit markings that are generally seen with coral & are so small, you practically have to pull out a jewelers loupe to see.
Because of the amount of sterling in these, they do have a bit of weight, so please go over the weights below before purchasing.. Questions? Just email me!
These beauties can pair well with any southwestern Coral collection & because of their non-traditional/ contemporary look, these can be worn in or out of the southwest, without feeling like you have to pile on all your southwestern pieces!
***FYI***:
Anyone person whose closely involved 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 the last few years, the cost of "GOOD" Coral 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 for the premium qualities. 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 & the less availability, the higher the price will go! Coral has become a collectible material for these reasons mentioned.
