In Ancient times, coral was worn as protection against evils. It was frequently tied to babies' clothing as well as adults (to ward off the Evil Eye). The warm hue and smooth texture of carved coral became popular during the Victorian Era, and more extravagant pieces were made. It never really went out of style, as the peachy hue compliments all skin tones.
A beautiful pair of carved coral earrings, accented with diamonds and set in 14 karat yellow gold, showcasing excellent design from the 1930s. A great set to transition from day to night, you can't go wrong with these beauties!
