It is very beautiful. Do you know what kind of coral is this? Is it a composite or one piece that is veined and marked?
SARAH CORBETT December 20, 2014 at 12:35am

It is composite I think, I looked at the full size image...
bianca maggi December 20, 2014 at 10:54am

Yes, it is composote.

i have to add here some infos discretly.the composite coral is new use in kabyl jewelry. it started in the 90 th ( for several raisons, one of them is the interdiction of coral colecting from meer to save it )

enameling colors and shining is also from the time. the size form and silver saples are also from the 90 th

the bracelet is appealing and beautiful

I agree with Ait in this matter ... compostite coral is used in Kabyle and Tiznit copies of kabyle in the last 30 years
