Coral stone is a unique material formed by tiny sea creatures and is prized for its vibrant colour and organic touch. Ranging from deep red to a soft pink, with occasional grey or purple hues, coral offers a natural beauty unlike any gemstone. Coral's smooth texture and sometimes visible polyp cavities add a fascinating organic element to jewellery designs.

Antique coral jewellery showcases the material's natural beauty in a variety of styles. From Victorian cameos featuring intricate carvings of mythological figures to bold Art Deco geometric pieces, coral can be found in brooches, pendants, earrings, and rings. Victorian designs often used yellow gold settings and paired coral with pearls, while later eras embraced platinum and experimented with bolder cuts and geometric patterns.
