Attributes
Called the "flower of the sea" and in the waves brings a lot of good. Wisdom and penitence, love and passion, tranquility and balance.

Origin
Coral is an organic material and is a hard skeleton secreted by polyp colonies, animals from warm seas.
Coral can be found in warm seas in all locations around the world with largest deposits in the Red Sea, the Malaysian Archipelago, Australia, Hawaii and Mediterranean
Corals are very rare and delicate. At S&A we care about the environment and do not waste its resources. That is why we also use reconstructed material - small chips of coral or its powder are combined using resin and then heat treated.
Name
The name originates from the Latin name of marine organisms from the subclass of Corrallium corals, living in hot and warm seas.
History
As early as the time of the Roman Empire it was used for the production of ornaments and jewellery and for decorating armor and dishes.
Ancient Egyptians placed coral in tombs to protect against evil spirits because they believed each coral gem actually contained divine blood. The Romans hung branches of coral around the necks of their children to protect them from danger.
