Natural Orange Branch Coral Necklace









This is a natural (not dyed) orange branch coral single-strand, graduated necklace. It measures 23.75" long including clasp. These coral "beads" came from a vintage necklace that was broken. They were restrung using a heavy 19-strand beading wire so the necklace should be good and sturdy for a lifetime now. Sterling silver findings (crimp bead covers, jump rings and lobster clasp) were also used. The clasp is stamped .925.

Charles Loloma Ring













Originally purchased from a collector in the Dallas area. He in turn 
purchased it from the Loloma museum. The ring is sized to 11 and 
I had the previous owner do a professional cleaning. The turquoise 
is Number 8 spiderweb.
