Coral Beads: Jewelry of the Sea

Red coral, like pearls, are a precious gemstone that is harvested in the ocean.  It is found near the bottom of the sea.  Red coral is skeletal and petrified.  It prefers to grow in deep and dark parts of the ocean in caverns and crevices.  The gem can be found near Gibraltar, Sardinia, Japan and Taiwan.  It resembles a small leafless bush.  The rock is made up of intermeshed spicules of calcium carbonate and natural pigments.  True coral comes in shade of warm red, from pale pink to a deep red.  The hard skeleton is a natural matte but can be polished to have a glossy shine.  The first known pieces of coral trace back to jewelry found in ancient Egypt.  A few different pieces have also been found in prehistoric European burials.  Again, like pearls, coral is an ancient gemstone that is still used in jewelry today.  

In Greek Mythology, coral has a very distinct and different origin. Perseus, one of the many illegitimate sons of Zeus, accidentally created the beautiful rock.  A would be suitor to his mother sent him on a journey to retrieve the head of Medusa, a Gorgon who’d been transformed into a snake-like creature.  One look into her eyes and a person turned to stone.  After defeating Medusa, as Perseus traveled through modern day Ethiopia, he saw a beautiful woman, Andromeda, chained to a rock by the sea.  She was meant to be sacrificed to the Cracken, a vile sea monster.  Perseus was promised her hand in marriage if he could rescue her.  Using the head of Medusa, he petrified the sea monster and saved Andromeda.  He set the head by the sea and its blood changed the seaweed into coral.  The Greek word for the gemstone is Gorgeia (Medusa was a Gorgon.).  Coral was widely used in the ancient world.  It was such an important symbol of wealth the Greeks added it to their mythology.  

Today we know that coral does not come from the blood of a decapitated snake monster.  It comes from the sea, but we still use it as jewelry.  Its beauty can only be matched by the wearer, adding a level of ancient opulence.   Many stores sell synthetic coral at wholesale to make arts and crafts with.  Homemade necklaces and bracelets are popular pieces to create.  The synthetic coral is sold as beads and pendants.  Authentic coral can be found in jewelry stores but cost a bundle.  It’s fiscally responsible to buy the gemstone at wholesale.  This allows a person to tap into the creative hemisphere of their brain and design their own unique coral jewelry.

Coral: Coral $14.44 Picture the scene if you will, you’re sat in your parents’ front room in Liverpool with the Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd rolling the spliffs, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention jamming in the corner, and The La’s looking on in wondrous bemusement before joining in. Mad? Possibly, but that is the scene that rolls through the mind as The Coral’s debut long-player comes to an end. A more disparate and yet strangely coherent collection of moods and styles you will not hear this year outside a supremely eclectic compilation. ‘The Coral’ is the sound of a band saying ‘Why don’t we try this’ as they attempt to distil all of their influences into one exhilarating musical soup – which is kind of the whole point of debut albums. And while most bands wouldn’t dream of throwing in anywhere near as disparate a range of styles, that only makes the end result more unique. Weird but mostly wonderful. 11 tracks. 2002.
