Wearing a Black Coral Bracelet means that you’re carrying on a very ancient tradition. Did you know that coral was one of the first materials to be worn as jewelry? Black coral has been used in jewelry and amulets for tens of thousand of years. Early peoples believed that wearing black coral would protect them by warding off both evil and injury.

The healing qualities of Black Coral are well known to the Polynesian.  Traditional doctors ground black coral branches into a medicinal powder that is used to cure a wide range of illnesses.

The Latin name for Black Coral is ‘antipathes subpinnata’. In Latin the name, antipathes, actually means “against suffering”.
