What is blood coral jewelry?

Blood coral jewelry consists of coral that comes from the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The deep red coral was already appreciated centuries ago for its beauty and unique color. In the Netherlands, blood coral became especially popular in the 19th and early 20th century, where it became a popular part of regional jewelry in regions such as West Friesland, Volendam and Zeeland.

The history of blood coral jewelry

In the 19th and early 20th century, women in West Friesland and Zeeland wore blood coral necklaces with multiple strands, often combined with large gold clasps. The larger the gold clasps, the wealthier the family was considered. In Zeeland, the necklaces could consist of five or six strands of smaller beads, while in other regions, larger beads in the shape of 'barrels' or 'cheeses' were preferred. These jewels were not only a sign of wealth, but also of craftsmanship and tradition.

I honor the tradition of red coral jewelry while creating modern and innovative designs. My collection includes a variety of styles, from classic necklaces to contemporary bracelets and earrings.
