Coral has a long and rich history. Red coral has been found in Neolithic graves; two thousand years ago, it was much sought-after by the Chinese. The Ancient Greeks preferred black coral, while red coral beads signified wealth in some African countries. Few gem materials have been believed to have such powers as coral, both talismanic and medicinal. It was thought that coral could cure madness, strengthen babies’ teeth, and turn pale when worn by someone sick. A piece of coral above the door of a house would protect its inhabitants, or its wearer from being struck by lightning.
Necklace secured with a sterling silver ball catch.
A perfect birthday, anniversary or Christmas present. Unquestionably beautifully gift-boxed.
