Since the Georgian epoch, particularly the red Mediterranean coral has been applied for antique coral jewellery in Europe. The fascination, which emits this natural product, is significant. Besides the pearl, nearly just the coral jewellery satisfies the wishes and needs of the lovers of organic jewellery. The more or less intensive red of the natural material offered a wide range of expression possibilities to the artists of central Europe in the 19th century. Until into the Art déco coral jewellery was still to be acquired new through the general availability of the material. This changed in the 1940s partially when the corals almost became extinct in the Mediterranean Sea. The spreading and popularity of the red coral, set in gold or gilt silver, was at this point already exceptionally large. These works of Italian jewellery manufacturing were often taken as souvenirs to all parts of Europe and the world. Either the widely travelled lady wore her Mediterranean coral jewellery herself or it was granted to the loved ones. Marvellous earrings, brooches and bracelets with this natural product functions as eye-catcher and thus, generate a certain wanderlust. It is known that the origin of such beauties lies in the Mediterranean climate of the European south mostly associated with rest and holiday joys. The coral is skilfully carved and polished by hand. Very filigree cameo carvings with the simulacrum of gods and scholars adorn earrings and brooches. As cabochons they also enthuse on earrings and pulled on chains. Healing powers, radiated by the coral, as it is awarded as well to amber by conviction, were used by hanging it around children’ necks against teething problems.
