Only the branched calcareous trunks of certain corals are used in jewellery. Coral gets its colour from carotene, an organic pigment found in certain plants and animals. The colour varies from blood red to white to pink, also known as "angel skin coral". Today, the majority of coral species are protected by the CITES convention because they are threatened with extinction. International Buyers: Please be aware of your country's customs fees.
