Its history and origins

Red coral finds its source at sea. It is a marine semi-precious stone, found in clear, warm and tranquil waters. It is the marine animals that deposit a calcareous substance on its wall and allow it to obtain this rigidity and this beautiful orange-red 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 whose shades vary according to their geographical origin: the red of Japan or the Mediterranean, the golden of China or the black of the Pacific.
