Coral is a colony of living microorganisms in a calcareous formation that grows in the form of a small tree at depths of 50 to 150 metres
Coral has fascinated mankind since ancient times and its origin has been a source of speculation among early naturalists for centuries.
Many people believed that coral had magical and portentous qualities and was able to protect against negative influences. This is why, in Italy during the fifteenth century, a coral necklace was an indispensable element in the trousseau of young brides from all walks of life.
In the 18th century, the first coral “industries” were set up in Naples and Torre del Greco: wonderful objects that included not only jewellery but also statuettes and the famous “twigs and horns” for good luck.
