Blood coral necklace

Red coral necklaces exude a unique combination of history, craftsmanship, and elegance. Their deep red color and captivating background make them more than just jewelry—they tell a story. In my collection, you'll find a wide range of designs, from traditional pieces inspired by Dutch folk costumes to modern interpretations that perfectly complement today's style.

The unique charm of a blood coral necklace

A red coral necklace is more than just a piece of jewelry; it's a work of art from nature. Native to the Mediterranean, the coral is beloved for its warm, deep red color and has been used in jewelry for centuries. In the Netherlands, red coral was especially popular in the 19th century, when it served not only as decoration but also as a symbol of wealth and tradition, worn on special occasions and in everyday attire.

From tradition to modern style

While blood coral necklaces used to be primarily part of regional jewelry, such as in Zeeland and West Friesland, they are now also a beloved accessory in modern styles. My collection honors traditions by combining the characteristic elements—such as the beautiful strands of coral and delicate gold clasps—with contemporary materials like silver and pearls. Each design is handmade, with an eye for detail and a deep respect for craftsmanship.

Why a red coral necklace is unique

• Natural beauty: each blood coral bead is unique, with subtle nuances in color and shape.
• Historical character: wearing a blood coral necklace connects you with an age-old tradition.
• Versatility: a blood coral necklace can be worn in both a classic and modern style, perfect with a festive outfit or as a subtle eye-catcher.

Maintenance for a lifetime of enjoyment

Red coral is a natural product and deserves special attention to maintain its shine. Keep your necklace sparkling by treating it with care:

• Avoid contact with chemicals such as perfume or cleaning agents.
• Store the necklace in a dry, dark place, for example in a soft jewelry box.
• Clean the coral with a soft, damp cloth – do not use harsh cleaning agents.
