A LITTLE ABOUT DON: Known throughout the Southwest.veteran artist Don Lucas has grown after 40+ years in the business to being a real favorite for buyers whether it's for his old school ingot jewelry they're looking for or his colorful multi colored jewelry,his CZ jewelry or just because of desiring quality made jewelry that will ALWAYS be made with quality/premium stones & shell.He still makes his jewelry from start to end BY hand,without using commercially made products to make the job go faster,which also by the way,takes away from the 'Hand Made-Artisan Factor"..This is the beauty of his work. You can't go wrong with anything that has this artists name on it. THE EARRINGS: Made in a nice sized length cross that are beautifully designed with premium Mediterranean red Coral that happens to come from old stock & unfortunately can no longer be fished.This coral comes from a family from Sciacca, Sicily & who has had a lock on the coral that came out of this region. The calibrated coral cabochons are precisely set in a very precise cluster setting which give these a very uniform look & are anchored from Don's hand made shepherds ear hook wires..The cabs are set low in their bezels & are then laid atop of a matte finished sterling.They may have some length,but are very wearable in weight! (see weights below) Perfect addition to any collection of coral & have a look that can go with just about any wardrobe! These can complete any western to urban wardrobe! FYI: Anyone in this business knows how much the price of Coral has climbed to & has gotten so ridiculously expensive, which makes it unaffordable for many artists to even consider buying. Coral is now on the "Rare" list & no longer can it be fished,nor brought in the USA. (These reasons are reflected in the price) Everyday the price goes up & similar to real estate, it will never be the price tomorrow, as it is today.
