These 5mm dyed lacquered bamboo coral rounds bring a punchy, warm red to organic bead work — lightweight, consistently round, and finished with a lacquer coat that keeps the color vivid and the surface smooth.

The dye delivers a light red with the natural warmth of coral, and the lacquer finish gives each bead a polished, even sheen.

What to make with them

String them into bold single-strand necklaces or layer them in multi-strand designs where the small round shape lets color do the talking; they also work beautifully in knotted jewelry where the lightweight organic material keeps long pieces comfortable to wear.

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.
