Red Coral Jewelry

Coral is a precious stone from deep within the ocean. It's actually the skeleton of an animal that lives on the ocean floor. Coral is found naturally in a wide variety of colors, but most people are familiar with red, peach or orange coral jewelry. However, you'll find coral jewelleries in pink, white, black, blue, green and more.

When shopping for coral jewelry, be sure to determine if the stones are their natural color or dyed. Dyed coral jewelry is beautiful, but natural coral jewelleries are much more valuable. Most coral jewelry is dyed a deep red, which is one of the most valuable colors.

Color is not the only value factor in coral jewelry. Fossil coral jewelry features floral or fireworks patterns in the gem that are simply spectacular. Branch coral is the actual skeleton of the sea creature, and the more interesting the shape the more valuable the gem. The smoother the surface of coral,, the higher the value. It is rare to find coral with completely smooth surfaces.

Many women would love a coral jewelry set. Look for coral pendants, rings, earrings and bracelets set in gorgeous sterling silver. Or choose a marvelous coral bead necklace. You'll love the color!

You'll also find coral jewelry paired with other gemstones, most frequently turquoise. However, stunning coral jewelry featuring black onyx, mother of pearl, lapis lazuli and moonstone.

Coral is a relatively fragile gem, so it is important to protect it from damage. The gemstones can be scratched very easily, so only clean your coral jewelry with a clean damp cloth. Store it wrapped in plastic to prevent other pieces in your jewelry box from scratching it. Coral is a porous gemstone and can be easily damaged by chemicals. Never use hair spray, perfume or cosmetics while wearing your coral jewelry.
