MATCHING DANGLING WIRE EARRINGS ALSO AVAILABLE. Brand New, Never Used Hawaiian-Designed Silver Coral Pendant. 100% Solid .925 Sterling Silver (Not Plated, Not Bonded, Not Filled) Oval-Shaped Pendant With 100% Genuine, Northern Indo-Pacific Seas Natural (Untreated) Red Sponge Coral.

- Coral Support Details: Please Note, There Are Three Physically Known Characteristics of Red Sponge Corals That Need to Be Addressed For Customers to Better Understand This Design is Genuine. First; Overall Weight: The Weight of Sponge Corals Have a Light-Medium Weighty Feel, Similar to Mediterranean Red Corals Due to the Way They Grow in Tree-like Fans. Sponge Corals Are Also More Porous and Less Dense Than White, Pink and Other Coral Varieties, Making it a Lightweight Alternative For Carving and Jewelry Making. At Times, This Might Confuse Uninformed Consumers Who Are Not Aware of This Biologically Known Fact and Possibly Raise Questions Into Their Believing They Are Not Purchasing a Genuine Sponge Coral Product. Please Be Assured This Design is Created With ONLY Genuine Red Sponge Coral Pieces (Not Plastics, Not Fakes, Not Synthetic, Not Wood, Not Anything Else). Second, Colors/Patterns and Feel: The Color Saturation of Natural Red Sponge Corals Are "Not Consistent Throughout". Colors Range From a Blended Light, Light-Medium, Medium, to a Medium-Dark Orange-Red Color Background Appearance. In a Beaded Bracelet For Example, Each Bead's Surface Color Will Be Matched Closely As Possible, But Each Will Be Unique in its Color Tone. These Color Ranges Coupled Along With Light to Dark, White to Black Surface Growth Rings, Pours, and Patchy Patterns May Present the Appearance of Dyed, Colored, or Treated Beads in Some Way. However, Please Be Assured All of These Unique Characteristics Are 100% Completely Natural For This Variety of Coral (Please See Crushed Bead In Last Item's Pictures). If You See a Red Sponge Coral Beaded Design With a 100% Evenly-Uniformed, Dark Red Color Appearance Throughout Each Bead, The Design Has Most Likely Been Dyed or Color Enhanced and Should Be Avoided. In Inlaid or Carved Sponge Coral Designs, Each Will Display Its Own, Unique Orange-Red Color Tone, No Two Will Be the Same. Hence, It Would Be Extremely Difficult to Reproduce Each of These Unique Colors and Appearance Combinations in a Plastic Mold or Any Mold as Many Thousands of Individual Molds Would Have to Be Created to Reproduce the Natural Appearances Seen Within These Sponge Coral Designs. Similar to Many Turquoise Designs, Red Sponge Coral is Inherently Highly Porous Internally. To Stabilize and Protect These Natural Internal Growth Inclusions, Reduce Cracking or Splintering, Reduce Absorption From External Caustic Liquids, and Maintain a Long Lasting Durability, Red Sponge Coral Designs Are Typically Surface Lacquer Coated and Highly Polished to Seal These Internal and Normally Surface Visible Inclusions. Hence, This Protective Outer Coated Layer Produces a Mostly Smooth, Waxy to Vitreous Glass-Like Polished Surface Luster. When Highly Surface Polished, Red Sponge Coral Will Produce a Smooth, Matted to Glossy Surface Shine. When Red Sponge Coral Beads Are Tapped Against Each Other They Will Have a Low-Tone, Marble-Like Clinking Sound, Similar to Tapping Large Pearls Against Each Other. Third; Unique Non-Repeating Natural Patterns: Although These Designs Have Been Inlaid or Hand-Carved and Polished, Each Design's Natural Color Tone Shades and Patterns Are Unique to the Very Next Design. These Are Clearly Observable With Your Eye's as One Pendant Might Display a Medium Tone Red With One or No Vein Lines While the Other Pendant Will Have a Medium-Dark Tone Red With Multiple Veins and One or Two Surface Pours. Again, It Would Be Extremely Difficult to Reproduce Each of These Unique Color Shades and Pattern Combinations in a Plastic Mold or Any Mold as Many Thousands of Individual Molds Would Have to Be Created to Reproduce These Natural Non-Repeated Characteristics Within These Inlaid or Carved Designs. The Above Three Major Points Are Provided For You to Determine Authenticity and to Guarantee These Coral Designs Offered Are Created Using Only Genuine Red Sponge Coral. These Coral Gemstones Have Only Been Surface Lacquer-Coated and Polished to Display Their Glossy Luster, Natural Surfaced and Subsurface Pours, Growth Rings, Lines, Patches, Striations, Streak Patterns, Color Tones, and Hues. These Coral Pieces Were Fished From the Northern Indo-Pacific Waters North of Taiwan and South of Okinawa, Japan. There Are No Known Breaks or Cracks on These Pieces. Similar to Cultured Pearls, Any Surface Fault Lines (Growth Rings, Surface Imperfections, or Surface Pores) Noted Are 100% Completely Natural Surface Inclusions Created By Cutting or Carving Rough Coral Material Into Smoothed and Polished Shapes.

About Sponge Coral: Commonly known as the Knotted Fan Coral, this is a species of colonial soft coral that does not produce calcium carbonate skeletons. In the wild, before processing, sponge coral has a tree-like fan structure while growing on coral reefs. Primarily, sponge coral is harvested and farmed from waters close to Taiwan stretching south to Indonesia and is popularly used in jewelry. It grows much more quickly than traditional hard corals used in jewelry and its harvesting is believed to be very sustainable. In the jewelry industry, it is used with the name red sponge or spongy red coral. Knotted Fan Coral is so-named because it roughly resembles sponges, meaning the appearance is somewhat vesicular (pours and veins) and has a sponge-like appearance formed by polyps that create housings for themselves. Color is typically orange-red, but some are blue, yellow or brownish in color. Good sponge coral has a vibrant, orange-red color. Bright orange-red specimens are considered most desirable, but variegated specimens, with tinges or streaks of white, yellow or orange are also sought after. Sponge coral may be rough, polished smooth into calibrated beads and cabochon-cut pendents, and can also can be carved or shaped. Natural, unenhanced orange-red sponge coral is more expensive than its treated counterpart. Coral Care and Handling: Clean Silver Using a Soft Dry Cloth or the Outside (Untreated) Layer of a Jeweler's Polishing Cloth. Due to its softness and porous nature, sponge coral requires some special care. Do not use chemical cleaners and prevent sponge coral jewelry from receiving sharp blows. To clean sponge coral, wipe it down with a damp cloth moistened with warm water and allow it to air dry before putting away. Sponge coral should be stored in cloth bag or in its own box to prevent it from getting scratched by other pieces of jewelry. Corals are delicate gems and proper care/wear should be used. Last On, First Off. Similar to pearls, put coral jewelry on after applying makeup or hairspray and remove your jewelry before removing makeup, showering, or retiring for the evening. Coral is also porous, similar to pearls, so care should be taken to see that coral jewelry does not come in contact with any chemicals. Because coral is produced by a living organism it cannot be put into jewelry cleaning solutions; never place coral jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner. It is Not Recommended to Use Harsh Cleaners, Detergents, Soaps, Shampoos, Chemically Treated Jewelry Cloths or Jewelry Liquids, Chemicals, Chlorine, Body or Tanning Lotions, Ultrasonic Cleaners, Tarnish Creams, Saltwater, Showering, Swimming in Pools or Hot Tubs or the Ocean With Any Coral Jewelry.
