Coral Earrings

Coral Earrings – Various Designs

Native Americans have been making and wearing coral earrings for generations. Coral is an increasingly popular material with artists, due to its beautiful color and durability.

At SilverTribe it is our mission to provide the public with access to the finest coral earrings available. We partner traditional jewelry making with modern technology to bring you our extensive collection of handmade coral earrings.

Depending on the tribe, a coral earring can be worn to show status, tribe affiliation, and of course, just to be fashionable. While coral is commonly referred to as a stone (even in this writing) it is actually the skeletal structure of polyps, which is a living organism that forms colonies known as reefs.

Although coral was not used until the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors, it's hard to imagine Native American jewelry without this wonderful and versatile material. No jewelry collection should be without a pair of coral earrings.

The most popular styles of coral are a bright red color, yet it is available in many shades and color variations, including white and pink. Pink coral earrings are believed by some cultures to represent love and compassion.

At SilverTribe we offer a wide selection of coral earrings to suit any need, and for any occasion. We stock many different styles that include the very simple coral stud earring, to an elaborate Navajo version, and even different styles of dangle and bead earrings.

Maybe you need a set of hoop earrings; well you can't go wrong with a beautiful pair of coral inlay hoop earrings. For those who still prefer not to pierce their ears, we also carry a large selection of clip-on earrings.

Sterling silver is the most favored and most commonly used metal in the making of coral earrings. Let's not forget about gold and its stunning contrast to the bright red coral.

Both metals can be used as a simple setting to show the beauty of a piece of coral or to create an elaborate and beautiful backdrop for a coral earring masterpiece. Coral by itself is known to be a soothing influence.  This may be due to the link between the polyps and all life in the oceans.

Whatever the occasion, and whatever your mood, we can find a pair of beautiful coral earrings to match your needs.

At SilverTribe, we strive to offer the best variety at the best prices available. Explore our massive inventory of Native American earrings to see why we are the online leader in Southwest jewelry.
