These orange coral tube nuggets come strung on a 16" strand, offering the organic irregularity of natural coral in a warm, saturated hue that reads bold without trying too hard.
The dyed and lacquered finish gives the coral a vivid, even orange tone with a subtle surface sheen that catches light without looking glassy.

What to make with them
Thread them as focal spacers in a chunky statement necklace or mix them with seed beads and natural stone in layered boho-style stringing projects where the organic tube shapes add welcome variation in scale and texture.
Description
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. Match our orange coral with turquoise, sterling silver and heishi style beads.
