    Hi,
    Recently bought this bracelet in an antique shop (more vintage than antique I think) and would love to know what the orangey-red cabochons are.
    My initial thought was red sponge coral, but I see spiny red oyster shell is very similar.
    Though I must admit after taking close up photos I'm leaning more towards sponge coral.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I agree with dyed sponge coral.
    It does not look like spiny oyster to me.
    Pretty!

    I couldn't say, since it only says 925. It could be Mexican or maybe Thailand

    Thank you, yes with more research I see that Asia is a good possibility, but also the US.

    Not Stracci but I think 99% Asia. It’s not Mexican.

    I think 100% Asian. Anywhere in SE Asia, imo.
