The triangular fossil coral and the flared silverwork above it create a silhouette that reminds me of an ancient amphora or some beautifully shaped vessel. There's a lovely balance between the two, with the open silver framework giving the design a little breathing room while clusters of silver granules fill the space with texture and detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fossil coral itself is a gorgeous golden amber color, with intricate patterns spreading across its surface like a delicate mosaic. Look closely and you'll see dozens of tiny, repeating structures, remnants of the coral's original skeleton preserved in stone. The warm honey and caramel tones give the piece an almost glowing quality, especially where the light catches the polished surface. I've framed the stone with a textured silver border that complements the fine details within the fossil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFossil coral is a fascinating material formed when ancient coral skeletons are gradually replaced by silica-rich minerals, often agate or chalcedony, over millions of years. The intricate patterns are the preserved structures of the original coral colonies, and depending on how the stone is cut, they can appear as tiny flowers, radiating fans, or elaborate geometric patterns. This particular piece has an especially interesting arrangement of overlapping, fanlike structures that make it a beautiful little piece of natural history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✧ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStone:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Natural fossil coral\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✧ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePendant Size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Approximately 35.5 × 27 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✧ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMetal:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sterling silver and fine silver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✧ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Textured silver border, open framework with decorative silver granules, and patterned silver reverse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✧ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChain:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sterling silver diamond-link chain, patinaed and polished\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✧ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Adjustable from 18 to 20 inches with a 2-inch sterling silver extension chain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✧ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClosure:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sterling silver lobster claw clasp with extension chain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne-of-a-kind and made with care in my studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Janine Krantz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44526270152763,"sku":null,"price":460.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0337\/2728\/3259\/files\/IMG_1881.jpg?v=1792106746","url":"https:\/\/janinekrantz.com\/products\/fossilized-coral-pendant-necklace-in-sterling-silver","provider":"Janine Krantz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
