Federico Jimenez-Incredible Multi Shaped Cuts of Premium Italian Red Coral-Long Rectangular Cluster Ring-Adj. Bypass Shank Size 9- 2" Tall

THE RING:
There is something so unique about how this ring looks & if I was to put one thing at the top of the list, it would be the way the coral is cut that makes for a very special looking ring! All the way around,this speaks volume in quality..

Beautifully placed atop of a darkened sterling backdrop, are these branch cuts of Coral that are cut on a diagonal on each end & line the east/west side of the ring.And besides the overall look,it's these cuts that really make this ring pop! Wire wrapped in the center are 6 mm round cuts (1/4") that are separated by sterling beads, while at the top & bottom center are horizontally laid cuts.One of these lays flush while the other is a tubular branch cut.The color is not blood red,but rather a red with very slight orange undertones.

***I do want to mention that what looks like a crack in one of the corner round cuts,is actually inherit to coral where you'll see lines that look like cracks or holes known to coral.. It is NOT defective.(See photo 1-bottom left) ***
********************
THE SHANK:
It has an adjustable bypass shank that has been tooled with 'crosses' (See last 3 photos) & is presently set at a size 9 and because of the bypass shank,makes it adjustable. By putting it on the ring mandrel, I can go up in size for you if you need it a size or 2 larger, (No more than) please let me know at the time of purchasing!! To go down a size or 2,I personally find it harder,so I suggest taking it to a reputable jeweler.. Makes a great middle finger ring!

***ABOUT THE PRICE OF CORAL***:
Anyone whose connected in the industry knows how much the price of Coral has climbed to & has gotten so ridiculously expensive, which makes it unaffordable for many artists to even consider buying, without having to pay top dollar for it. In recent years, the price of Coral has jumped compared to a few years ago, when it was at about $250 a gram, it is now over $1000 -$3000 a gram for the ‘premium grades’ (Like what is in this ring.).

Coral is now on the "RARE" list & no longer can it be fished, NOR brought in the USA. (These reasons are reflected in the price) Everyday the price goes up & up & will never be the price tomorrow, as it is today & keeps rising.. Coral has become a collectible material because of this.
