Nothing Says Summer Like Vintage Red Coral Jewelry

What sets apart precious corals from others is the color you see. Vibrant reds and deep pinks are hallmarks of these marine animals. Vintage jewelry makers would rely on specimens from the Mediterranean Sea to create the most stunning pieces. Nowadays, reef destruction and harvesting bans make the finds of red corals in particular relatively rare. Fortunately, many vintage jewels featuring this natural gem still exist. We have put together a list of some of the most beautiful pieces we currently have in stock.

Italian Horn Pendant with 18k Yellow Gold Jump Ring 

We date this horn-shaped coral to the 1950s. Italian artisans used 18k yellow gold to form a top and jump ring. The coral piece has not undergone any form of treatment other than exceptionally well-done polishing. From top to bottom, the pendant measures 46.38mm. From side to side, the measurement is 11.75mm. Choose this pendant to accessorize a summer wardrobe or accentuate citrus tones.

Orange to Red Coral Ring in Yellow Gold 

The red of this 1960s ring has distinctive orange undertones. They create an almost salmon coloring effect. Artisans cut the coral into an oval cabochon that measures 13.56mm by 9.37mm and set it into an 18k yellow gold ring. Its top width is 17.13mm while its bottom width is only 2.65mm, which makes wear comfortable.

Italian Pin Featuring Whimsical Tomatoes Fashioned from Coral 

When you value excellent workmanship, then this pin delivers. It starts with 18k yellow gold and finely worked leaves. Bright green enameling provides the illusion of the tomato foliage. For the fruits, artisans chose six orange to red coral beads. Each features an attractive polish that looks gorgeous. The entire pin measures 61.16mm in height and 28.46mm in width.

Untreated Coral Earrings in Yellow Gold 

The attractive appearance of the yellow gold and red coral combination is evident. These untreated red corals present with beautiful translucency. They measure 12.63mm by 7.84mm. Jewelry makers set them in 18k yellow gold. We acquired the earrings as new old stock from a jeweler on the West Coast; they bear the Bergio designer hallmark. Once you try on this set of earrings, you will not want to take it off.

Coral Fish Pendant Featuring Multiple Color Hues 

Are you looking for something that is unusual? This carved coral fish delivers! The artists used 18k yellow gold to create a fish-shaped bail. The pendant presents with a red body that also shows off orange and white tones. From every angle, this is a great-looking pendant.
