Corals, in the recent times have become very rare. The authentic pieces command
a high price. Natural deep red corals without any flaws like fissures or bands
around them are also expensive. If you are being offered corals at an
unbelievably low price, they stones are probably manmade or imitation. Good
quality Corals have an even coloring and do not have any striations or holes in
them. Genuine Coral Jewellery is expensive - if it is cheap, it is probably an
imitation. It is always a good idea to buy coral from a reputed store since it
is hard to differentiate the genuine pieces from the imitations.
 Gift someone celebrating their 35th anniversary, a set of coral rings. One for
him and one for her. Yes! Men can wear coral rings too - a big stone set in a
square design will complement dark suits with aplomb. Before you make a purchase
of Coral Jewellery, you must have some knowledge about this gemstone. There are
many imitation corals available -dyed glass, plastic, shells and even
heat-pressed and resin treated coral powder is passed of as authentic coral.
While buying corals rings, let the length of your fingers and hands decide what
will suit you the best. Try on different shapes set in various settings before
deciding on a ring. The size should be perfect and the stone should be firmly
set in the ring. Corals can be combined with other gems also depending on the
colors you like - Pearls, Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli - the choice is varied. A
coral stone set in Gold, Silver or Platinum will be an investment in Jewellery
you will never regret.
So, now that you have a beautiful Coral Ring, a Coral Bracelet will be a
gorgeous addition. Fiery red, catching the light with a tilt of an elegant
wrist, a Coral bracelet can make you the center of attraction. The red of the
corals is a perfect foil for both light and dark colors. Bracelets too, should
fit the wrist correctly, check the clasp regularly and gently tap the stones to
ensure they have not become loose. Small corals can be set all along the band of
the bracelet or it could be several medium sized stones set apart or even corals
combined with other gems. Whether you want to create an entire ensemble or just
a unique piece, Corals are the perfect for every occasion.
Coral necklaces can make you look bright and with the variety of designs
available, it is difficult to resist the lure of the Red. Long chains with coral
beads, or twisted strands with corals and pearls (both organic, both from the
ocean), or even a choker with corals and turquoise set in gold or silver.
Several varieties of lightweight corals are also available. These are more
porous and do not have the intense red color of the good quality corals. The
advantage is that they are cheaper and available in abundance. Jewellery is
crafted from these lightweight corals also. A long neck can carry off any design
whereas a petite woman should try necklaces that are of collar-length or longer.
Designers have let their imagination run riot and corals have given a dash of
color to their designs. Whether the corals are set in plain gold or handcrafted
silver, they are impossible to resist. Natural Red corals are collector's items.
Many people will pay a small fortune to own them. Corals are opaque and this is
makes it difficult to differentiate the genuine from the false. Sometimes,
colored wax is filled into the corals to give them a more dense red color, thus
commanding a higher price.
Before being polished, corals are dull and look like marine trees. They are then
sorted, cleaned, cut and polished. The widest part of the coral tree is used to
cut the stones. The stones are then polished and used for Jewellery. Earrings of
Coral are the final purchase to complete your coral ensemble. Hanging or studs,
with one stone or several small stones, coral earrings will frame the beauty of
your face.
Fiery Red, this mysterious stone from the sea, has powers to heal and ward off
negative influences of the planets on your life. Wear corals to protect you and
your loved ones, looking attractive is an added benefit of Coral Jewellery.
