Vintage Coral

About Vintage Coral Website

I started this website to help educate and inform people on the types of coral used in jewelry making. I love researching antique and vintage jewelry, and coral is my favorite type of jewelry. When I started trying to learn more about coral and research it, I had a hard time finding accurate information. I sincerely hope this website is a help to you.

● I grew up in Miami, Florida and loved going to the beach and snorkeling. There seemed to be coral everywhere, and that is where my love of coral began. Despite the fact that coral looks solid and similar to rock, it is actually really fragile and easily damaged. Estate Beads is interested and supports conservation of coral reefs. We hope that once educated, people will only buy coral that was harvested legally and will fight the destruction of the reefs. Buying antique and vintage coral instead of newly harvest coral is one way to help save the reefs. We encourage you to watch this informational tutorial to learn more about coral reefs.
