The combination of warm coral tones and oxidized silver gives these earrings depth, texture, and a timeless Southwestern elegance.
Coral has long been valued in Native traditions as a stone of life force, protection, and grounding. Its vibrant red hue is believed to strengthen vitality, encourage resilience, and safeguard the wearer from negative energies. Often associated with the blood of the earth and the warmth of the sun, coral symbolizes renewal, courage, and the steady pulse of life itself.
