Coral jewelry October 4, 2009

Coral jewelry can be described as timeless, unique, diverse and exotic. Coral has a beauty that is all its own, and it is beautiful in its own way. Coral is harvested from various countries including Tahiti, the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan. All the pieces are unique, and each has a quality that is different from all the rest.

The value of coral depends on its luster, size and surface quality, among other traits. Larger corals can’t be machine made, and are thus more valuable. Each coral is actually different from all the rest, and there are many different colors and shapes of coral. If you measured coral’s market value, in terms of color alone, the whitish-pink are usually the most expensive. Corals can be used in earrings, rings and necklaces, and they lend a unique air to whomever wears them.
