Natural Red Coral and Navajo Pearls Necklace

Darren Livingston is a well known Navajo jeweler who began learning how to make jewelry when he was thirteen years old.  The center of this necklace is a flower of natural red coral.  Ten water drop shaped coral stones surround a larger oval coral in the center.  The twisted wire around the central stone and the base have been oxidized to set off the coral.  Between each coral surrounding the center is a sterling silver ball.   It is in the center of three strands of Navajo pearls and ends with substantial tips and a large lobster clasp.  It is stamped "D.Livingston" and sterling on the back of of the coral piece.  Absolutely gorgeous!

Size: 16.75" Long, Center coral pendant is 1.5" H x 1.375" W

It takes thousands of years for red coral to grow, and much of it has been over harvested.  Some of the natural red coral fields are protected to allow them to recover.  What is available goes up in price every year.  If you love red coral, now is the time to invest in it.
