Federico Jimenez- PREMIUM -Sciacca Sicilian- Powerful / Potent Fiery Blue / Red Coral Cluster- Hoop / Cross Design 925 Earrings- 3.25"
These one of a kind earrings have such a robust look based on their design! They are different from any coral earring you'll find out there & are designed with plenty of it!
The coral for these earrings were carefully hand picked for their precise size & even coloring. From cut to cut, no where does the color change & each have the same saturation, which is what contributes to their uniform appearance. The coral is a blue/red color or a true red (As opposed to an orange red) & it's this deep blood red coral that's so high in demand & is the color most sought out that comes out of Sicily..
The rectangular shaped tops sit in a tightly packed cluster & act as the anchor to hold the circular hoop shaped bottom. The coral on the hoop dangle, sit on the same sheet of sterling & lay in a cross pattern. The whole section was cut out by hand.The sterling has some light tooling that looks like little stars & dresses up the sterling somewhat, which otherwise would have been plain.The metal has a contemporary-light oxidized finishing.
They are a very 'showy' earring & one's that no doubt, you'll be getting compliments on!! They have a very upscale look that can be worn anywhere in the world & with any wardrobe!
**These have some weight,so please pay attention to the weight before purchasing**
***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 and 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.Any more,it has become an 'investment' gem.
