Red Coral: Its History and Origins
Red coral originates from the sea. It is a marine semi-precious stone found in clear, warm, and calm waters. Marine animals deposit a calcareous substance on its surface, giving it rigidity and its beautiful reddish-orange color. Each additional deposit allows it to grow further. This is how coral trees with multiple branches are formed. There are different types of coral, with shades varying depending on their geographical origin:
- the red of Japan or the Mediterranean
- the golden of China
- the black of the Pacific.
A bit of history now. Traces of coral have been found in tombs dating back to the Neolithic period. This stone has been used for many years. Indeed, people were fascinated by its color during Antiquity. They attributed a magical power to it: the power to heal. It was already used at the time in the making of jewelry, medicines, or amulets.
Let's move on to myths and legends! Coral was also called the "Tree of Waters." Ancient cultures believed it had the power to protect against the evil eye and stop bleeding. According to a Greek legend, coral was born from the drops of blood shed by Medusa when Perseus cut off her head.

Discovering Coral: Uses, Care, and Meaning
You love your little coral jewelry, but don’t know how to care for it. Good news, we’ll tell you everything! Since coral comes from the sea, simply soak it in salt water. This is indeed the most natural treatment. Leave your jewelry overnight in this saltwater bath, and magic! They will have regained their shine by the next day.
