Coral reefs extend for 2,000 km within the Colombian Caribbean. It’s the flaming red-orange glow of these natural formations in which artisan Martha Lopez finds her inspiration for this handcrafted Fire-Tipped Pearl and Coral Necklace & Earrings Set.
Red-hot coral beads join forces with iridescent Baroque button pearls in this Fire-Tipped Pearl and Coral Necklace & Earrings Set. These nature-generated gemstones are strung on a 16-inch silver wire neck chain in a 5-inch-circumference choker style that lays flat against the throat. The silver hoop earrings measure 2-inches long and 1.25-inches wide.
This set is comprised of our Fire-Tipped Pearl and Coral Necklace and our Fire-Tipped Pearl and Coral Earrings, which are both available for purchase separately.

When the skeletons of fallen sea creatures calcify, they grow into treelike formations. Coral reefs are the result. of this process. The stones that are chipped away from these reefs exude elegance and harmoniousness.
When Columbus explored the South American mainland in 1498, he was struck by the high-quality Baroque pearl bracelets women in one Indian village wore. He immediately set out to barter for them. Baroque pearls still draw that same kind of admiration today.
This 950 silver necklace measured approximately 16 inches and is secured with a silver clasp. This necklace uses a round hard wire silver chain to maintain its shape. The circumference of the wire measures approximately 5 inches. The earrings are approximately 1.25 inches wide.

Much softer than other gemstone materials, coral requires careful care. It should be wiped gently with a soft, moist cloth.
The porous nature of Baroque pearls also demands extra care. To maintain their luster: 1) avoid exposure to household chemicals like hair spray, perfume and cleaning products; 2) gently wipe them with a warm damp cloth to remove body oils and perspiration; 3) when storing, keep them separate from other gemstones and metals that may scratch them.
Silver 950 should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your silver 950 shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your silver 950 to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
