This antique salmon pink coral cabochon is intricately carved with fine details and a delicate design. The floral arrangement depicts three daisy like flowers and foliage.

Precious corals are light pink, to salmon, and even blood red. Coral has a long history of being used as jewelry, and can be found along any of the ancient trade routes around the world. Precious corals have a hard skeleton which is a fine gem material with a lustrous polish. There are over 7,300 species of corals, including the reef building corals living in shallow warm waters. The 'precious corals' used in jewelry are restricted to approximately 10 species that do not live in the same ecosystem as reef building corals. Reef corals that are currently suffering from climate change are not traditionally used in jewelry at all!
