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.

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. About Estate Jewelry...
