Japanese gem coral natural genuine coral
[Coral size] Width 11.5mm x Height 14mm [Chain] Length 45cm [Weight] 1.7g (chain included) [Chain] 45cm (brass) [Coral type] Red coral (made in Japan) [Product details] This is a pendant that has been polished to take advantage of the natural shape and retain the shape of the raw wood. We use low-grade accessories that have scratches, cracks, and uneven coloring. Due to the design, the chain cannot be removed.
[About red coral] This is a type of coral collected in the waters near Japan, and is a different type from the coral collected in the Mediterranean Sea. There is always a white part called Shirofu in the center of the log, and it is cut to avoid it showing as much as possible, but white parts often appear on the back side of balls and loose pieces. It has a sense of transparency, and when carefully polished, it has a beautiful luster, as if covered with a transparent film. The dark color is red with a slight purplish tinge, giving it a noble feel. The most valuable type is the one with a particularly deep color, called blood red, and the area off the coast of Kochi Prefecture is especially rich.
*This is a general explanation, and there are exceptions even within the same type.
[About gemstone coral] In general, corals that are processed as gemstones are made by polishing the bone shafts produced by living creatures called corals. Precious coral is also worn overseas as a talisman for safe childbirth and for the growth of a child. Coral takes many years to grow, so it may have been worn since ancient times as a symbol of longevity and healthy growth. In Japan, coral is also given as a souvenir for 35th wedding anniversaries, and red coral is especially great as a 60th birthday present.Since coral is the birthstone of March, it is also a great birthday present for those born in March.
[About care] Coral's main component is calcium carbonate, which is sensitive to acidic substances, and if sweat is left on it, it will gradually lose its luster. Please wipe it with a soft cloth after use. Also, regarding the storage of coral, commercially available cases often contain bleach or dyes, so if you leave it in the case, it may lose its luster or the surface may turn white. You can prevent this by putting it in a sealable plastic bag and then putting it in a case. If you have a thin chain, leave the pull ring outside and seal it to prevent it from getting tangled. Please try this.
