I bought these a few years ago as studs - clearly a DIY job, and horribly done, but the roses themselves were really pretty. But it’s been years and I’ve done nothing with them, so… Any interest? Could be used for earrings, hair ornaments, brooches…
Bought as salmon coral, undyed, and hand-carved. Definitely coral, most likely undyed (looks undyed, no dye seepage or accumulation, but they’re not worth enough to get paperwork on). No idea on the hand-carved bit but they’re carved very nicely - the petals are neat and three-dimensional. And they don’t match exactly, so they do seem organic in that regard. There’s some light crazing that doesn’t affect durability.
Bought for $330 in 2016 and I’ll let ‘em go for $220 via PP F&F or Zelle. And I’ll cover shipping within the US.
14.7mm x 13.5mm x 7.6mm
14.5mm x 13.2mm x 8.4mm
3.5g total (for both)
Each is half-drilled with a 0.8mm hole, and the area around the drill hole is flat (as in, not curved like a pearl would be).
