Coral Beads
The demand for coral continues to grow despite new trade and harvesting regulations. Most of our coral is vintage and has been in the U.S. for many years. Coral is an organic gemstone and unfortunately, coral reefs are endangered.
The premier coral on the market is still "oxblood" red coral which is from the species Corallium. Most of it harvested in the deep waters of the Mediterranean and polished and cut in Italy or Japan. Pink or Angel skin coral is always popular and commands a high price too. We have some pieces that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere. Lots of our customers say they didn't even know there were so many different types and colors of corals. Visit VintageCoral.com for more information about coral.
