Premium 5A Grade Red Coral Bead Strand (10mm)

Origin, Craftsmanship, and Oceanic Energy

This premium 5A grade strand features vibrant, 10mm round beads of genuine Red Coral. Unlike mineral gemstones, Coral is an organic gem, formed from the hardened skeletons of marine polyps. This natural process takes place over thousands of years deep within the ocean. Revered for millennia, ancient cultures from the Mediterranean to Tibet valued Red Coral as a potent talisman, believing it held the life-force energy of the sea. Its deep, uniform red color has made it a symbol of passion, vitality, and protection. This 10mm strand is perfect for creating your own bespoke jewelry—be it a bracelet, necklace, or prayer beads—that embodies the protective and vital energy of the ocean’s heart.

Jewelry Making and Care

This 10mm red coral bead strand is perfect for DIY jewelry projects such as bold bracelets, statement necklaces, or mala beads. The vibrant red color provides a powerful pop of color and pairs wonderfully with both silver and gold findings, as well as with stones like Turquoise, Pearl, or Onyx from our Onyx collection. **Care Note:** Coral is an organic gem and is very soft (Mohs 3-4). It is sensitive to acids, perfumes, hairspray, and harsh chemicals, which can cause it to lose its polish and color. To clean, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Never use ultrasonic cleaners. Store separately to avoid scratches.
