Sciacca Coral Rose Drop Earrings, 18k Gold

The Sciacca coral earrings I am presenting today are among my favourites in the showcase. They unite the tradition of Sicilian jewellery-making with the unique beauty of red Mediterranean coral. We named them "Rose" because of the flower carving that adorns the coral, a detail that speaks of craftsmanship and patience.

Jewellery Features

These drop earrings consist of a setting in 750/1000 gold, i.e. 18k gold, and two elements of Corallium rubrum from the Mediterranean Sea. The coral is a delicate pink, typical of the Sciacca variety. The faceted gold drop is handcrafted to reflect light softly. Each earring measures approximately 2x5 cm and has a secure, comfortable snap closure. The total weight is 15.8 grams, well-balanced for daily wear without weighing down the earlobe.

The choice of Sciacca coral is deliberate: this variety, fished in the Channel of Sicily, is known for its pastel tones and compactness ideal for carving. If you wish to learn more, I recommend reading the Wikipedia article on coral.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Each piece is unique: the coral is cut and carved by expert artisans, then set onto a 18k gold casting. The drop is mirror-polished, while the coral retains a matte finish that enhances the contrast. What makes this model special is the hand-carved rose: a small sculpture that requires years of practice.
