    Wow! These are the real thing. So gorgeous!

    Thanks Toya!  :)

    Wow, yes, these are special. I love the enamel round the central cabochon of coral. Is the chain worn over the head to support them?

    Thanks Thelma, there is little enamel left around all 4 coral cabs, yes the chain goes over the head as they are too thick and heavy to go through the ears.
