Although for centuries it was considered a petrified sea bush and not an animal species, coral has been appreciated for centuries by different cultures. Its use is so old that some remains of coral have been found in the tombs of the pharaohs, it is known that the Romans used it as a talisman to combat certain diseases and that in the Middle Ages it was customary to carry pieces of coral to scare away evil spirits. Also in the Renaissance, coral continued to be present in the form of protective amulets that were often hung at the waist and were called cornicello when the shape resembles a horn or Higa when coral or some other gem was carved in the shape of a hand with a closed fist and the thumb between the index and middle fingers. In addition to all this, coral was credited with having effects on female fertility and was associated with beauty.

Most historical coral pieces are made from Mediterranean coral, just like most pieces found on the national or southern European market. When we refer to coral as a colour in general, we are talking about the Mediterranean colour tone, which is the most popular. The main commercial centre for coral has been Torre del Greco, a municipality south of Naples, for two hundred years. During the sixties and seventies, coral was very popular and that is why we can still enjoy this precious, now protected gem in a conscious and sustainable way.
