Organic jewelry is just as precious and valuable as the mined varieties. By the term organic gemstones, one is simply talking about gemstones like pearls, bamboo, bone, horn, stone, hardwood, ivory, hair, coral and amber.

All the materials are used to fashion and craft exceptional pieces of jewelry, and now, many designers are creating fine jewelry with these materials. Pearls are still very rare, and most of the pearls that are in the markets are farmed and declared as such.

Amber is also made from the resin of a now extinct fern. It was primarily used by the plants to scab over the wound or infections, whoever, once the resin came into contact with the air, it hardened over millions of years. The first few millions of years created copal, which is young amber; amber takes millions of years to create amber from copal. A lot of custom jewelry in Pittsburgh and at other locations has exceptionally beautiful amber as the center stones of the piece. Prized amber is known to be deep-colored and translucent and they fetch high prices in gemstone jewelry.

Coral jewelry has also been around for centuries and is not new as a concept. Although coral jewelry can get damaged with regular wear and poor maintenance, it can also last for years with the right care and service. Corals can come in a variety of colors, although red is the most popular. Coral from Hawaii is usually black and is a prized gemstone for jewelry.

Hawaii is also home to the unique black and gold coral, which is very rare and expensive to acquire. The colors can range from light beige to black and turn glossy after polishing.

Pink corals are native to Hawaii and are dense and hard, and can come plain pink or with a marbled pattern. It is used to carve intricate pieces and design and can be worn for daily wear with care.
