| Post subject: | Long Live Coral |
Red is the favorite color for the summer, and in jewelry it is perfectly associated with one of the most precious materials nature has given us - coral. In all its shades, it is about to take the lion's share of success once again this coming warm summer. Many jewelers have proposed coral in their collections, including several that specialize in platinum jewelry, where coral is used as a detail. The precious material is also often accompanied by colored stones, such as turquoise, or with other similar materials, such as shells. At the last Vicenza fair, the perennial exhibition at the entrance pavilion was dedicated to this precious gift from the sea, with many showcases exhibiting the latest creations, some in full keeping with tradition, with jewels following the tastes of long ago, others with ultra-modern lines demonstrating that an ancient material can also be used for jewels in a modern style. In Italy, the "gioielliditorredelgreco" brand has been created, which will guarantee the quality of the product. In Torre del Greco, near Naples, people were fishing for these precious branches as early as the 17th Century, although extensive harvesting began in the 19th Century. The jewelry created by the local artisans met with immediate success abroad, and even today about 80% of production is destined for the foreign market. ,Rolex Lady Datejust Necklaces and rings with coral and turquoise by Valente Milano.
