These 5mm dyed lacquered bamboo coral rounds deliver a deep, saturated red in a natural organic material — a great pick when you want the warmth of coral without the cost of solid precious coral.

The dye-and-lacquer treatment gives each bead a rich, consistent dark red with a smooth, sealed surface that holds its color and catches light evenly.

What to make with them

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. Bamboo coral grows in segmented sections similar to those of bamboo. Match our bamboo coral with turquoise, sterling silver and heishi style beads.
