Coral earrings silver Singing corals (coral branches, silver)

Coral earrings silver Singing corals.
Elegant sprigs of natural red Italian coral (vintage, Italy), with minimal polishing, unpainted, rich red, are suspended from silver chains.
Each branch is unique in itself, but I picked up the same length and thickness of the twigs in the earrings, so that the earrings looked symmetrical.
Shvenzy - French hook with a loop for a clasp, reliable and very comfortable. Textured disc ring soldered to swanse.
Earrings made entirely of 925 sterling silver, used 925 sterling silver wire, all silver slightly aged.
Coral twigs are very light, earrings, although long, are not felt on the ears, and in the movement you can hear a light melodic chime of coral twigs, this inspired the name of the earrings-Singing corals.
There is a video of earrings.

Corals are mined in many seas, there are quite a large variety. Collectors are interested in all varieties, but there are particularly popular species, the most rare and valuable. First and foremost is the red Mediterranean coral. But on earth there is only one place, where they get corals from the red nature colors is a place in Italy, in Sardinia. In other places can grow pretty pink or salmon coral, many low-value white and yellow-brown... but the corals with the natural red color in other seas of the world, unfortunately, does not happen. It explains the extraordinary value and relevance of the red Mediterranean coral. Modern natural resources are clearly not enough to meet the needs of the jewelry world in Red Coral. Coral reefs grow slowly (3-4 millimeters per year!!!), and are extracted intensively. In this connection, Europe has adopted strict environmental laws limiting their production, practically reducing it to a minimum (only a few companies have the right to produce it in the amount of kilograms per year - this is about raw materials, at the output, after turning, the weight of the party decreases by about 5-10 times)
