Coral is an organic gem, composed of the external skeletons of coral polyps. Formed from calcium carbonate with no crystal structure, coral has been prized in jewelry for over 30,000 years — from prehistoric adornment to contemporary fine jewelry. Today, supply is limited due to pollution and environmental protection measures, making genuine coral cabochons a valued addition to any jeweler's inventory.
These oval cabochons display a rich red-orange color and are waxed — not dyed — preserving the natural character of the material. Some color variation between individual stones may be present. Due to coral's inherent softness, finished pieces should be worn with care. Avoid exposure to chemicals, heat, and abrasion. Clean with warm soapy water only. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
