Loose coral gemstones are individual pieces of natural coral stones that have been polished or left unpolished for use in jewelry making. These stones come in various forms, such as coral cabochons, coral beads, and raw coral gemstone rough.
What types of loose coral are available?
Our collection features a range of loose coral options, including red coral, pink coral, and rare Italian coral. Each variety offers unique colors and characteristics, making them popular for both vintage coral jewelry and modern designs.
How can loose coral be used in jewelry making?
Loose coral can be used in various types of jewelry, such as coral pendants, bracelets, and necklaces. Common choices include coral beads, coral cabochons, and coral nuggets. It’s also popular for coral carving, allowing artisans to create intricate designs.
Is loose coral sourced sustainably from coral reefs?
Yes, our sea coral stones and loose coral gemstones are sourced responsibly to ensure the preservation of coral reefs. We focus on offering high-quality, authentic pieces that do not harm marine ecosystems.
What is the difference between polished and unpolished coral?
Polished coral stones, such as coral cabochons and gemstone beads, have a smooth, glossy finish. In contrast, unpolished coral or coral gemstone rough retains its natural, raw texture, making it ideal for collectors or custom coral jewelry making projects.
Are there specific care tips for coral jewelry?

Would have bought an indigo and selenite, but neither listed. But, you do offer quite a large assortment otherwise.

Easy picking, fast checkout, secure shipping. Cana't ask for anything more than efficiency and a good price.
