About this site:
VINTAGECORAL.COM was designed to
educate people interested in buying coral by giving them
a brief synopsis of the current coral market, teaching
them what is legal and illegal, describing
characteristics and showing (in pictures) the many
colors of coral.
And as much as we are drawn to
the beauty of coral, it is imperative to protect the
world's coral reefs from further damage and destruction.
By respecting the reefs and enjoying what harvested
before the 1972 ban, we are allowed the natural beauty
of this underwater gem without encouraging new and
illegal coral harvesting.
VINTAGECORAL.COM is owned by
Darlynn Lydick, who has been in the vintage bead
business since 2001. Today she owns beaddrawer.com
where vintage coral beads are available for purchase.
