Organic Coral Branch Necklace with 14K Gold Lobster Clasp

About the Item

Large organic pieces of salmon-colored bamboo coral are the focal point of this bold necklace. Purchased from an estate as a parcel of bamboo coral, Kirsten’s Corner had the pieces knotted with silk thread and added a substantial 14k gold lobster clasp. This necklace is great for summer or for creating a dramatic look that brings attention to the neckline. The pink bamboo coral (Keratoisis sp.) used in this necklace gets its name because its segmented skeleton is similar to bamboo plants. From the coast of Southern California, the coral in this necklace is un-dyed and the growth patterns of the coral can be seen on the ends of each piece. Natural coral is cool to the touch, with a satin like finish. The necklace is 17 3/4” long, and the coral varies in width (most pieces are about 1 1/4” or 1 1/2”). The necklace weighs .77 lbs. The lobster clasp is 14k gold. A row of four connected 14k gold jump rings create a chain at the end of the necklace that allows you to clip into multiple places for varying lengths. This stunning necklace has an almost tribal look--perfect for channeling your inner Raquel Welch!

14K Gold Victorian Rose Cut Diamond Drop Necklace with Bow
Located in Venice, CA
At the focal point of this elegant Victorian-era drop necklace are three antique diamonds suspended from a bow and navette shaped bar. The diamonds are Dutch rose cut, with layers of facets cut by hand, making each diamond one-of-a-kind with its own unique way of reflecting light. The largest, bottom diamond appears round, and the diamonds descend in size, with the middle and top diamond taking a more oval shape. The necklace has a 14k gold back and a silver front—a traditional way of mounting jewelry in the Victorian era. The beautiful diamonds rest in a silver backing, so the stones catch the light and reflect it brilliantly. The diamonds are topped by a bow, which contains seven smaller rose-cut diamonds, surrounded by millegrain details that add subtle texture. A transitional bar connects the bow to the teardrop section, and features an eighth diamond set in a navette shaped mount. The bow, navette, and diamond trio are articulated, so there is lots of movement while worn, adding to piece’s elegance. The necklace is circa 1890’s. Kirsten’s Corner has added an antique platinum chain...
