Treasure of the seas
Treasure of the seas, coral has fascinated humanity since ancient times. Contrary to what one might believe, it is not a precious stone but rather the product of tiny polyps living at the bottom of the sea in the form of colonies, with that distinctive tree-like appearance. There are mainly two coral working techniques: smooth and engraved, one used mainly for the creation of jewellery, the other for sculpting figures, floral motifs or details in the coral.
