The Truth About Buying Coral

The truth about buying coral jewelry is that most coral on the market today has been color treated. If you want to find natural coral, look for antique and vintage pieces. Untreated coral is rapidly disappearing from the market and will appreciate in the future. Some of the most beautiful pieces of antique jewelry used Italian coral that was hand carved into beads, floral forms, and cameos.  In addition to being quite valuable, by purchasing an antique or vintage piece you are making very little impact on the environment.  Antique and vintage coral comes in a variety of rich hues ranging from pink to orange to deep reds.  This piece was just posted to the online catalog and is quite affordable. As in this antique jewelry piece, you will see slight variation in the colorations, which is another sign that the coral is natural and untreated.  You can view the details of this piece at http://www.your-antique-jewelry.com/ or see the listing at http://awantiquejewelry.ecrater.com/p/10354480/antique-coral-necklace-vintage-art .  Photo:  Antique Coral Necklace offered exclusively by Aawsomblei Antique and Vintage Jewelry, $385.
