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 primarily two formations resembling either "cauliflower heads" or branches of a tree. Located at depths between 10-1600 feet, coral can be found along the shores of Japan, China, Taiwan, Australia, Hawai`i and throughout Polynesia, thePhilippines, Bay of Biscay, Canary Islands, Indonesian and Malaysian Archipelagos, and the Western Mediterranean. Most coral used for jewelry comes from the Mediterranean Sea or from the Pacific Ocean near Hawai`i, Japan and Northern Taiwan. Like many other gemstones made from rock or organic material, coral comes in a variety of 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 glossy and shiny luster. White coral is the most plentiful of all coral varieties. The most sought after and rare corals are red, black, angel-skin pink, and gold. With characteristics such as its intense and permanent coloration and glossiness, precious coral jewelry remains very popular. Color is the main value factor of coral. Oxblood-red Mediterranean corals are the most expensive, followed by a deep-red to salmon Moro coral from Japan, a blush angel-skin pink from Taiwan and Hawai`i, rare gold coral from Hawai`i, rare black coral from the Indo-Pacific and Hawai`i, and white being the most commonly available. Most experts also consider intensity and uniformity of color to be a major factor. There are several types of Hawaiian precious corals including black, pink, gold, and a variety of white coral with a pink cast. Hawaiian coral is also considered one of the world’s finest by displaying more lustrous qualities than any other types of corals found in the world. Mediterranean Sea Red Coral:Precious coral, noble, or red coral are the common names given to Corallium rubrum and several related species of red marine corals. Red corals grow on rocky seabottom with low sedimentation, typically in dark environments, either in the depths or in dark caverns or crevices. The distinguishing characteristic of precious corals is their durable and intensely colored red or deep reddish-pink skeleton, which is used for making jewelry. The Red Corals in the Mediterranean Sea off Italy are the finest in the world and are unparalleled in comparison to any other red variety of corals found anywhere else on the planet. Known in Naples as Areiscuro (or Carbonetto) coral, their color saturation is 100% completely natural and display a very strong and intense dark red to ox-blood red appearance. The original species, C. rubrum, is found mainly in the Mediterranean Sea. Here, Precious Red Corals (Corallo Rosso, a general term for red coral) is by far the best of the best. Italy is considered the center of coral jewelry creation, and Torre del Greco, near Naples, is where only the best red coral jewelry in Italy is obtained, polished, and manufactured into loose beads or jewelry designs. An almost close first place tie goes to the red corals off waters of Sardinia Island. In the underwater caves of Alghero, Sardinia, known as the "Coral Riviera", Precious red corals are known as (Corallo Rosso Sardegna), which still display an intense deep red color, but just slightly more subtle than the Italian Areiscuro variety. Yet, Sardinia's red coral colorations still out perform the red corals of Japan, known as Momo (Corallium elatius, a light to light-medium red variety) from the Ogasawara islands, east of Japan and Moro or Aka (Corallium japonicum, a dark red to blood-red variety) from the Ryukuan islands, south of Japan. Both of which still offer beautiful light to dark red color tones, but lighter in overall comparison to the Sardinia and Naples varieties. The same species of Corallium rubrum is also found at Atlantic sites near the Strait of Gibraltar and at the Cape Verde Islands. Other Precious red coral species are native throughout the western Pacific, including Hawaii, and notably larger beds are found around southern Japan and northern Taiwan waters. Regardless, Precious Red corals of any variety are the most highly prized and desired of all other coral colors and species. Its value varies greatly in range; a single, unset 4.00 carat cabochon-cut piece of ox-blood red Mediterranean coral can sell around $450-$500 wholesale, whereas Sardinia red coral of the same size could sell for around $300-$350 and Japan red coral selling for around $150-$200. With a history predating the ancient glories of Rome, precious red coral has been revered sinceearly civilizations for its color, luster and texture. Found in ocean depths of approximately 500 to 1,000 feet, red coral grows at a very slow rate of only about 1/4 inch per year, making it a highly rare and treasured gemstone. Coral jewelry is the traditional gift for the 35th Wedding Anniversary. 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.
