Coral Beads Necklace with Pendant Drop in Antique Sterling Silver


Coral Fire

I linked, calibrated Coral beads from Sterling Silver wire. The beads are approximately 8- 9 inches. I wanted to make a different style pendant and found a type of bail that I had never seen before. I enhanced the pendant's good luck by adding three large teardrops to the unusual bail. They hang beautifully! Oh and it has an extender. I don't normally add extenders to necklaces but this was a special piece and I didn't want size to be an issue.

I love Coral! It brings me back to my younger days playing in the sand on the beach in Vieques, Puerto Rico. Very fond memories. As I created this piece, all those wonderful memories just flooded my being and made me smile. Glimpses of my family; cousins, aunts, other extended family members.

You cannot beat semi- precious stones! They simply have a way of manifesting themselves in those who wear them. They bring out energies and feelings, that create connections with times and places. This is very true of Coral.

To me, Coral is a winner when it comes to its benefits and spiritual nature. It is believed that it brings good luck and that wearing Coral on a ring is the best way to maximize this trait. Coral increases energy and activity, boosts financial success; enhances courage, strength and leadership, and aids in the completion of tasks. It also protects against witchcraft, accidents, and lightning.

Coral is filled with many beneficial properties. I will discuss them in detail as I continue expanding my Gem Stones and their Properties page. In the meantime, here's a totally different way to wear your Coral.

About Coral


By Kazvorpal (Own work) [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

Coral is a living, marine invertebrate; an animal. It lives in the ocean in colonies of identical polyps, some secreting calcium to form their skeleton. Using Coral for decorative purposes was very popular but it has declined due to the high possibility of extinction. Laws have been created that limit the harvesting of Coral for decorative uses. It is a protected species since many believe that by the year 2030, Coral could face extinction.

Coral should be harvested once the Coral has died. It leaves its exoskeleton behind; it's no longer alive. Yet, even harvesting this way causes damage to the reef. Coral farms exist to cultivate Coral for commercial purposes or for coral reef restoration. I make sure that the Coral I purchase for my jewelry projects does not come from the reefs. This is a beautiful and stunning gift from our ocean. It must survive so that future generations are able to enjoy it as well.

Protecting Your Coral

Coral needs special care. It is a soft and porous gem and can scratch easily. Many chemicals can easily damage this gemstone: chlorine, alcohol, ammonia, nail polish remover, and others. Do not wash and moisturizing your hands While wearing Coral rings or bracelets. Extreme temperatures may also harm the Coral.

Storing your Coral separately from other gemstones is a good idea since it is softer than others and could scratch easily. To clean your coral, wipe gently with moist, soft cloth.

I’ve had my Artful gems copper earrings for some time now. I ALWAYS receive compliments whenever I wear them. My favorite thing about them is their uniqueness. These particular earrings go with just about anything, and I love to wear them. The order and delivery process was great! And when I stupidly lost a bead, Norma replaces it immediately. I love that glue is not used in her designs. They are truly Little works of art!

I am so happy you like your earrings. I love hearing about your experience. With Artful Gems, you receive a one year warranty on all your purchases. You can see the terms here: https://www.artfulgems.com/returns/Please come back and visit!!!

    Just received my first Tesoro bracelet and LOVE IT. Norma let me change the charm to whatever I wanted (lots of choices) and it really looks beautiful. If you are thinking about this for a gift, it comes beautifully wrapped with cards that tell you all about the stones, their meaning, purpose and affirmations.
