Read more43ST440: Bamboo Coral Red Flat Drop 14-20mm is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
These flat drop beads are made from dyed lacquered bamboo coral in a bold red, ranging across assorted sizes from 14mm to 20mm — so each strand gives you natural variation to work with rather than rigid uniformity.
The dyed lacquer finish delivers a vivid, saturated red with a smooth, polished surface that reads as both organic and refined.
Their flat drop silhouette makes them strong candidates for pendant-style earrings and focal dangles in necklaces; the size variation across the assortment also lends itself well to graduated designs or mixed-drop fringe work.

Like Pearls, Corals help make up the very small list of organic jewelry materials. Also, like pearls, Corals consist of more than 90% calcium carbonate. The corals used in bead and jewelry making are not the protected coral species of the fragile coral reefs, but the more common and hearty species such as corallium japonicum or corallium rubrum. Coral is sensitive to heat, direct sunlight and cosmetics. Currently the International Commission of Colored Gemstones (CIBJO) recognizes only five organic (once living material) gemstones: Ammolite, amber, pearl, jet, and coral. Bamboo coral grows in segmented sections similar to those of bamboo. Match our bamboo coral with turquoise, sterling silver and heishi style beads.
