Fossilized Coral Cuff Bracelet

About the Piece

This bracelet features a beautiful fossilized coral cabochon. The setting is bordered with  an intricately detailed line hammered texture and a split shank band. I was captivated by the precise geometric patterns in this gemstone.

This bracelet fits most standard wrist sizes. Please note that you can put this bracelet on and gently squeeze it to fit your wrist size, however it is not advised to bend it back and forth to take it on and off, as it will weaken the metal over time.

A Note on this Stone

Fossilized coral is a natural gemstone that is created when prehistoric coral is gradually replaced with agate. Corals are marine animals and it is their skeletons that are fossilized and preserved. The fossil coral forms through hardened deposits left by silica-rich waters. The entire process can take over 20 million years.
