Victorian 14KY gold and natural coral link bracelet

Description : Coral is a natural living organism that forms a 'polyp' and then forms a dense community by secreting calcium carbonate. These reefs and beds are generally found in tropical oceans and are home to millions of oceanic organisms. Much of the coral in the world was originally harvested in the Mediterranean Sea but is now a highly regulated and staunchly protected resource that provides food and shelter for many other creatures. This bracelet was made in the late 1800's and the quality is unmistakable. Each graduated, round coral cabochon is 6 prong set with a solid gold backing, which then becomes a structural component of each link. There are 15 round coral pieces and then the clasp is designed to be hidden and integrated into the bracelet, also set with a piece of coral to create a continuous circle of gemstones. Coral was used as a protective amulet for children, and is a symbol for vitality and life energy. This bracelet is a masterpiece of matched gemstones and craftsmanship. Coral is also an alternative birthstone for March babies. Item Number : P24013 Category : BRACELET Brand : CORAL Attributes Material : coral 14KY gold Style : Victorian link bracelet
