Despite the fact that coral was rare along the reefs of India, coral jewelry has held religious and cultural significance within the Indian culture for many years. Coral jewelry has long been considered a talisman against fever, bleeding, and evil spirits in addition to being one of the seven treasures in Buddhist scriptures.
Today, coral jewelry has established a niche in the gemstone jewelry market and has steadily increased in price due to popularity and supply.
Most of the world’s supply of coral comes from the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific off Japan and Taiwan. Coral reefs are one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world. Threatened by careless fisherman, pollution, bacteria, and warming of the oceans waters, coral is projected to be in short supply very soon.
Although the colors of coral jewelry range in white, red, pink, and black, many consumers unknowingly purchase white coral dyed red. It is important to purchase only from reputable jewelers that disclose any alterations to the coral.
Coral is much softer than other gem materials with a hardness of only 3.5. Therefore, it is extremely important to protect your coral jewelry from perfumes, makeup, and heavy cleaners.
