We love black coral, each stick an individual (much like the baroque pearls we have been working with this season…) and its lore…

…Black coral was once worn, carried or ingested as an elixir to protect against negative forces. It came to be associated with tranquility, the meditative state and place of creativity. Unlike red coral that grows in colonies, black coral grows in a branching, tree like form and these branches are used for jewelry and other objects…

A black coral stick bead is artfully joined with a rough cut African Garnet, deepest wine red with flashes of the color spectrum… gold, green, blue and violet…magical. The dangle is joined with antique French steel seed beads and a bronze artisan bead. The circle holds red black garnets and collected seed beads… vintage Italian glass, antique and ancient glass, mixed metals and hand wrought link and lobster closure.
