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

This necklace is a precise assembly of natural materials, measuring 16.5 inches overall, set entirely in 18K yellow gold. The strand comprises 123 red, bead shaped, bead cut corals weighing a combined 156.95 carats, and 12 white, round, polished cut freshwater pearls totaling 9.00 carats. The corals exhibit intense color intensity, with bead cutting executed to produce near uniform geometry and balanced mass distribution, the average coral bead weighing approximately 1.276 carats. The freshwater pearls are graded flawless IF for clarity, and vivid for color saturation, with an average pearl mass of 0.75 carats. Faceting in this context is expressed through controlled bead cutting, where each coral element is shaped to reduce angular stress concentrations, while the pearls receive a high polish to preserve their nacre integrity, resulting in a refined interplay of lustre and saturated red tone. The consistent sizing and calibrated drill placement yield a smooth graduated profile when worn, with the red bead elements providing texture and the polished pearls offering deliberate points of visual pause. The use of 18K yellow gold for all metalwork provides a stable, corrosion resistant frame, while maintaining warm color harmony with the coral palette.

This necklace from The Natural Gemstone Company is engineered for durability and daily wear, with multiple craftsmanship techniques applied to extend longevity. Bead drilling is performed to minimize eccentric loading, and each drilled aperture is finished to remove micro fissures, decreasing the risk of strand failure under transient loads. The strand is internally reinforced with a high tensile synthetic core, overlaid with a tightly braided silk jacket and hand knotted at critical intervals, the knots positioned to isolate individual beads and pearls from mutual abrasion. Metalwork, including the clasp and terminal crimps, is precision soldered in 18K yellow gold and stress tested to ensure secure closure under repeated use. Surface finishes are high polish with a protective burnish to resist micro abrasion and preserve color saturation. Taken together, these technical choices render the piece suitable for regular wear while retaining the need for routine care customary to organic gem materials. For buyers who demand technical clarity and practical resilience, this necklace presents a considered balance of material quality, exacting workmanship, and wearable durability, available from The Natural Gemstone Company.
