18KT Yellow Gold Oval Shaped Cabochon Cut Coral and Diamond Pendant

This beautiful yellow gold pendant is centered with an oval, cabochon cut coral. A row of twelve round brilliant cut diamonds surround the coral which is set horizontally across. A yellow gold curb link chain is attached to the centerpiece, on both sides, by jump rings.

Unlike most other gemstones which are of mineral origin, coral is organic, formed by living organisms. It forms from branching, antler-like structures created from coral polyps in tropical and subtropical ocean waters. When the coral polyps die, the hardened skeleton remains, and this material is what is used as a gemstone. Most coral is white, but nature can create coral in several other colours, including the popular orange to red forms. This red coral, or precious coral as it is often known by, is the most used gemstone form of coral. In fact, the colour known as coral is derived from the typical pinkish-orange colour of many red coral gemstones.
