Hi everyone! Been a while since I posted, took a bit of a break around the holidays, and I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. I have this super cute pendant, sterling silver, with red cherries made out of some sort of stone? bone? Not sure in the slightest. They are definitely dyed, lightweight, not cold to the touch, and each one is about 1/2" across. Let me know what you all think! Thanks!

Dyed coral, and probably coated in resin. I forget the proper name, but it's rough at best in its natural state.

Thanks! I totally forgot I posted this here as well... I did find out on another forum that they are dyed sponge coral, and you were right on the resin as well. They are actually pressure treated with it so it goes into all the little holes and stabilizes the soft coral. Thanks so much everyone who looked, and sorry I forgot to update when I found out what it was.
