- Symbolism: Plumeria ~ These beautiful flowers have a rich and deep symbolism in many ancient cultures making it a wonderful choice for a very symbolic and meaningful design. The Hawaiians have always had a close relationship with nature and the beauty of the islands. They have always especially appreciated the ocean and the many tropical flowers inhabiting the islands. To Hawai`i, the Pua Melia (Plumeria, aka Frangipani) flower is a symbol of Spring and therefore is associated with birth and life. Plumerias are certainly symbols of Aloha. This explains why their images can be found in the logos and advertising of even the most unlikely businesses. And the fragrance? Mmmm….. If you’ve ever smelled them you would know what this means. Combining these characteristics along with symbolism of life and the arrival of Spring creates a magical formula that is essence and ambiance of Hawai`i and the Aloha Spirit. The Color of Black gemstones symbolize self control and resilience. Black stones have protective energies in the sense that black is the absence of light, and therefore, can be used to create invisibility. Black is one of the most misunderstood colors. A black tie dinner is formal and elegant. Women can wear that "little black dress" to the black tie dinner. Yet the bad guys wear black hats. Yet, Native Americans thought black was good because it was the color of soil, which gives life. Black is not necessarily a color; it is the absence of all color. When people speak of opposites, it is usually in terms of black and white. Black, and its opposite white, represents polarities similar to the yin-yang philosophy, both polar opposites must exist to have complete balance. Black absorbs all aspects of light. While white reveals, black conceals. It has come to mean hidden, it is linked to the unknown or the unseen. In times of uncertainty black contains the energy of the threatening unknown. In a positive state, black is seen as a restful emptiness into which anything may emerge and disappear once again. It is also mysterious, providing a sense of potential and possibility. Coral is a symbol of Life Force Energy. Its energy helps overcome lethargy and depression, dispels foolishness, nervousness, fear and panic, guards against accidents and theft. It represents the ability to allow for flow and change in ones life and quiets the emotions. Helps one to connect with the quality of the mystic within. Makes difficult communications easily understood. It also symbolizes attachment; believed to be an amulet against natural disasters, disease, bad luck, and jealous friends.

About Coral: Coral is the skeletal remains of a marine animal, the polyp corallicum, and is mainly composed of calcium carbonate. Since Corals are calcified skeletons of sea creatures, they grow in formations resembling the branches of a tree. Located at depths between 10-1600 feet, coral can be found along the shores of Japan, Hawaii, Australia, the western Mediterranean, Philippines, Taiwan, Bay of Biscay, Canary Islands and Malaysian Archipelago. Most coral used for jewelry comes from the Mediterranean Sea or from the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii, Japan and Taiwan. Like many other gemstones made from rock or organic material, coral comes in many beautiful colors including blue, red, yellow, black, white, gold, orange, and pink. Unlike other precious stones, coral has a smooth brilliant surface when sanded and polished to take on a smooth, shiny luster. White coral is the most plentiful color of coral. The most sought after and rare corals are red, black, pink (aka angel skin) and gold. With characteristics such as its intense and permanent coloration and glossiness, precious coral jewelry remains very popular. There are several types of Hawaiian precious coral black, pink, and gold. Hawaiian coral is considered one of the world’s finest and displaying more lustrous qualities than any other types of coral found in the world. Black Coral: In Hawaiian, black coral is called ‘Ekaha ku moana, which was proclaimed the official Hawaii State gemstone in 1987. It takes many years for coral to mature and be ready to harvest and turn into fine jewelry. Black coral is considered a very valuable coral and one of the highest grade today is found in the seas of Hawaii. Black coral when highly polished is dazzling and holds great reflective properties. Black Coral was the first of the precious corals to be found in Hawaiian waters, growing at depths of 250 to 350 feet. Black coral grows in all oceans, ranging from just below the tide line to depths of thousands of feet. Most of the 150 known species live in tropical waters below about 300 feet. The few that thrive in shallower water, 60 feet or less, usually grow in caves and under ledges where light is dim. Black corals thrive in such darkness because they don't have symbiotic plants in their tissues, like reef corals do. Another difference between these two coral types is that black coral does not form reefs or heads. A colony of black coral looks like a tree growing up from the ocean floor. The largest of such trees in Hawaii reach about 6 feet tall, averaging 2 inches of growth per year. The trunks and branches of black coral (and some pink and gold species) are as hard as ivory and pearl. Black coral is rare and, when polished, it shines with such luster you can almost see your own reflection in it. Black corals are particularly common in the Indo-Pacific region and the Caribbean, where coral reefs have been the major source. Taiwan and the Philippines have tended to be the dominant exporters, but the Great Barrier Reef of eastern Australia is perhaps the best-known source. And, relatively large amounts are harvested off Hawaii, where black coral "appears to have first been found in 1958 off the island of Maui. Harvesting of Hawaiian precious coral is carefully controlled and monitored to ensure it remains a renewable resource. To ensure the future of black coral, divers strictly adheres to state regulations that prohibit the harvesting of immature colonies. Coral Care Tips: Corals are delicate gems and should be taken proper care of. To clean Coral jewelry, wipe it gently with a moist soft cloth, as Coral is much softer than other gem materials. Also, they should be stored carefully and separately from your other jewelry items to avoid scratches. Coral is also porous, similar to pearls, so care should be taken to see that coral jewelry does not come in contact with any chemicals. Because Coral is produced by a living organism it cannot be put into jewelry cleaning solutions. The best way to protect your coral jewelry is to rub mineral oil on about every 6 months to preserve their natural luster. Do not use an ultrasonic cleaner for coral jewelry.
