A branching coral species found in the Mediterranean Sea, Red Coral is the most valuable of all precious corals – as it has been since antiquity. Because of its durable nature and intense color – ranging from stunning blood red to pinkish orange – it is a favorite among jewelry makers the world over. Like Turquoise, Red Coral is believed by many to have symbolic significance, from increasing confidence and courage, to improving fertility in women and protecting from the evil eye.
