A nice coral bead was hand carved with a double happiness character on both sides. The bead was dyed the lucky color red. It has a nice large size and has a hole drilled all the way through it to string onto either a necklace or use as a pendant. It has a shiny polish.
MEASUREMENTS
1” (2.5 cm) long. Weight .66 oz (18.9 g)
CONDITION
The coral bead has natural inclusions. It appears as though several natural holes in the coral were filled in order to smooth the shape of the bead. The filled areas have taken on a lighter color than the surrounding coral.
A pretty hand carved piece of coral to either hold in your hand as a toggle or incorporate into jewelry.
