Coral jewelry has a timeless appeal. Thousands of years ago, the red
jewel of the sea was familiar from India to Italy as a beautiful talisman
with mystical healing powers. There has been a coral trade between
Naples, Italy, and Marseille, France, for thousands of years, and a
number of the ancient towns buried by Mt. Vesuvius eruptions were
known for coral work and cameo-making. 13th century explorer Marco
Polo noted the use of coral for fashioning idols in Asian temples. It is one
of the seven treasures in Buddhist scriptures, and Tibetan lamas use coral
rosaries. Long thought to be a strong talisman against bleeding, evil
spirits, and hurricanes, coral ornaments and inlay have been found in
Celtic tombs dating back to the Iron Age.
