5A+ Quality Natural Red Coral Bead Strand (8mm)

An Organic Treasure from the Sea

This vibrant 5A+ quality strand is composed of beautiful 8mm beads of natural Red Coral, an organic gemstone harvested from the depths of the ocean. Unlike mineral gemstones, coral is formed from the skeletal remains of marine polyps. Its name is derived from the Greek ‘korallion,’ and it has been treasured for millennia as a symbol of life and vitality. Ancient Gauls often adorned their helmets with it for protection in battle, while Romans believed it could ward off danger. This strand from our Coral collection, with its intense, uniform red color, is perfect for crafting jewelry that feels both ancient and powerfully alive.
