About the Item
A long vintage Mediterranean coral necklace. This coral strand necklace consists of graduating size coral beads and a 14 karat white gold clasp embellished with diamonds. The central bead measures 17.9 x 15.9 mm the smallest bead is 8.0 x 6.8 mm.
These Mediterranean coral beads are of the highest quality, untreated coral. All the beads have a deep red color and glossy finish.

The necklace is 28 inches (71 cm) long and it can be worn as one strand or two-strand. It weighs 97.2 grams. The clasp is made of 14 karat white gold and encrusted with round brilliant cut diamonds (H-I color, VS clarity, total weight approximately 1.15 carats).
In different cultures wearing coral has different meaning. In Slavic countries coral beads were a part of the national costumes. The ancient Romans believed coral protected their kids from danger. Same in Italy, where in the beginning of 20th century coral jewelry was believed to be an anti-evil eye protection.
Today coral is worn as a chic accessory with meaning and admired for its exceptional natural beauty. The silky coral texture and a variety of coral colors attract jewelry lovers all over the world.
Once considered as a plant, coral acquired the nickname “garden of the sea”. In fact, coral is a brunch forming by microscopic species called the coral polyps. It grows in the ocean and forms massive colonies.
Coral value is based on color, size, cut and polish. Generally, there is red coral, light and deep pink coral and orange coral. Other colors such as brown, gold and even blue and black are more exotic. They are shown in conchiolin corals that grow not as branches but as concentric circles.
Mediterranean red coral deep red color. It is harvested as deep as 200 meters in the Mediterranean Sea. Pink coral is dense and covers the whole spectrum of hues, from close-to- white, pale pink to salmon red. It is mostly found near Japan.
Due to its glassy, hard texture, coral is loved by carvers and engravers.

Diamond Stud Earrings 14k White Gold Estate Jewelry
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A pair of diamond stud earrings made of 14k white gold.
Diamonds are radiant cut in four-prong settings. It’s a classic and popular choice for earrings. The size and quality of the gemstones is what makes these earrings stand out.
Radiant cut diamonds combine the elegance of the emerald cut with the sparkle of the round brilliant cut. They are square or rectangular in shape with trimmed corners. This cut looks stunning in solitaire settings and earrings.
The four-prong setting, also known as a "solitaire setting," is one of the most common ways to secure a diamond. Each stone is set in an individual four-pronged basket, allowing maximum visibility from all sides. The prongs are like tiny claws holding the diamond at its girdle, which is the widest part of the stone. This setting provides a secure hold while allowing ample light to enter and exit the stone, enhancing its brilliance and sparkle.
The diamond studs are made of 14 karat white gold and feature two radiant cut diamonds. One diamond is 5.12-carat, L color, VS2 clarity. The other diamond is 5.02-carat, L color, VS1 clarity. Both diamonds come with GIA Diamond Grading Reports (please see pictures 3 and 4).
The Diamond stud earrings measure 5/8" x 3/8" (1.7 x 1 cm) and weigh 4.2 grams.
