I got a $100 bid on my necklace today and hubby asked why I was selling it because it is so beautiful. The bid was quite a bit below my offer. That got me into doing some research and I found an interesting article on coral… Understanding Precious Coral Jewelry - Assael. It turns out the coral in my necklace looks like Japanese Pink Angel Skin Coral which is quite valuable. I purchased it at an on line auction and it is from a high end jeweler. I thought the article was interesting and was also wondering if any jewelers that work with that type of coral can verify the type of coral it is.
Most Native American coral is Mediterranean or do they also use Japanese coral?
Needless to say…it is no longer for sale. The marbled coral is too beautiful and hubby was right….this time.
