Coral
Coral is a marine material that grows underwater in branching, tree-like formations. Used in jewellery since antiquity, it exists in several varieties: red coral from Japan or the Mediterranean, golden coral from China, and black coral from the Pacific, all originating from reefs in warm seas. Today, its harvesting is strictly regulated to protect the ecosystems in which it thrives.
Valued for its vibrant presence, coral is often used sparingly by designers who appreciate its bold colour and symbolic resonance.
Commonly associated with vitality and joie de vivre, coral is also linked to confidence and courage. In various traditions, it is seen as a comforting material with protective or healing qualities.
Highly prized since antiquity, it once adorned Celtic helmets, Chinese miniature talismans and the ceremonial finery of African kings. A unique material — between mineral and organic — that continues to inspire contemporary jewellery.
