Necklace Details
Angel Skin Coral (Antique; ca 1920) – Angel Skin Coral is a rare, highly prized form of Precious Coral, known for its delicate creamy white to light pink color, which is a natural aberration of the Pleurocorallium Elatius variety. Only found in waters off Japan and Taiwan, its stunning pale hues, decades of protected status, and scarcity means antique or vintage pieces are typically the only available gems.
Coral (Mediterranean) – Precious Coral has been harvested and used for adornment for more than 3,000 years. Of the more than 7,000 species of coral, only 10 are considered precious and usable in jewelry as they have a porcelain-like luster when polished. Today, Precious Coral harvesting is highly regulated to protect this extraordinary living gem. Precious Coral is believed to possess protective, lucky, and healing properties and is given as a 35th anniversary gift.
Sterling Silver – Silver is considered a fine metal and, because of its durability, a tangible representation of lasting love and family bonds. It is also believed to strengthen emotional, mental, and physical well-being by promoting inner peace, alleviating stress and anxiety, and warding off negative energy. Wearing or carrying sterling silver serves as a personal talisman, enhancing one's inner strength and resilience. Silver is given as a 25th anniversary gift.
