This estate necklace with coral and black onyx with a 14k yellow gold clasp weighs 96.7g and measures 18 inches long, 1.5 inches wide and maximum 15mm deep. Designed as a naturalistically inspired 'fringe' necklace of absorbing contrasting colors, this contrasting colored necklace is composed of twelve silk-strung Baroque sea bamboo 'logs', measuring 25mm x 10mm average, graded a delightful 'creamy-orange' color. Thirteen appreciatively juxtaposed black onyx 'twigs' measuring 46mm x 6mm average and graded 'jet-black' color complement this color-enriched combination, spaced by delicate 'jet-black' black onyx tubes measuring 11mm x 2.5mm. A well-constructed 14k yellow gold quadrangular slide-in clasp and a figure-eight safety latch secure this rare and attention-seeking necklace.

Sea bamboo is a red variety of coral, grown in the depths of oceans and used for jewelry and ornamental objects. In its untreated state, sea bamboo is matt and may display cracks, but when polished, acquires unique attractiveness. Sea bamboo has been valued for centuries as a talisman by the Santo Domingo Indians of New Mexico, renowned for their lapidary and beading artistry. Their beaded works are worn in dances and ceremonies and given as gifts on the occasion of marriages and religious rituals.
