Yeah... sort of pricey. While high carat gold is cute, this one looks like something I could put together myself... using some old beads. Unfortunately for the coral, the smaller beads are sold for allot less and treatment is hard to catch even in person (on some) let alone through a picture. To be honest, I am not sure what would be a threshold size after which coral beads are 'large'. The absolute 'monster' on my record are about 20mm... bordering the unwearable, IMO, and the biologically impossible, as far as I know.
Speaking of which: how about
these guys? The orange color and strong graduation would explain the price to me, even w/o color enhancement. And the settings on the earrings are quite lovely. Some
natural pearls next to them for good measure too.
I really don't have allot of coral, some cuff links... and a handful of branch beads I've never got to restring after a mishap years back.
