The coral drop is securely set, the textured and pierced gold cap shows no obvious wear, the rear of the textured bail exhibits discoloration and appears to have been soldered/repaired. Coral Characteristics (graded in setting) It is the opinion of the gemologist that the jade drop in this pendant displays characteristics consistent with those observed in natural coral that has not been color enhanced with dye. The coral displays an even, deep red hue, sometimes referred to as "oxblood" on the front side with one minute area of lighter color on the extreme lower left side. The drop displays very minor growth patterns, very minute cavities and color mottling on the reverse side.
