156.95 Ct. Red Coral and White Freshwater Pearl Multi Stone Necklace, 18K Yellow Gold

This 16.5 inch necklace from The Natural Gemstone Company is engineered with attention to material selection and structural integrity, making it suitable for confident daily wear. The body of the piece is comprised of 123 red bead shaped bead cut corals, totaling 156.95 carats, interspersed with 12 white round shaped polished cut freshwater pearls, totaling 9.00 carats, all set in 18K yellow gold. The corals exhibit intense color intensity, benefiting from bead shaping that preserves dense material mass while producing a faceted bead profile that optimizes reflected light. The freshwater pearls are graded flawless IF for clarity with vivid color saturation, their polished round cuts providing consistent surface smoothness and low micro abrasion potential. The choice of 18K yellow gold for all fittings delivers a balance of ductility and malleability for precise solder joints, while maintaining sufficient hardness for everyday handling. Soldered end caps and a fully integrated gold clasp are heat treated and finished to reduce stress risers at high wear points, and micro solder seams are polished flush to minimize catching and wear on clothing.

From a construction perspective each coral bead is hand drilled and seated on a reinforced core that combines traditional silk hand knotting with a high tensile synthetic fiber insert, this hybrid core preserves the classic drape while substantially increasing tensile strength and resistance to elongation. The freshwater pearls are individually knotted in place to prevent abrasion between adjacent pearls and to limit bead migration under repeated motion. Calibrated bead spacing and alternating placement of pearls reduce point contact and distribute mechanical loads across multiple beads rather than concentrating stress on single drill holes. The workmanship includes burnishing of bead holes and countersinking in the gold fittings to protect stringing materials from sharp edges, and a final quality control protocol that includes cyclic stress testing and visual inspection under magnification. For customers who wear jewelry daily this necklace offers a technically considered combination of robust metallurgy, refined bead finishing, and reinforced stringing, delivering a piece that maintains the visual intensity of its corals and the pristine surface of its pearls while resisting the common failure modes of softer organic gems.
