coral beads
has a history of religious significance.
Located at a depth of between three and three hundred meters coral can be found along the shores of the western Mediterranean, Japan, Hawaii, Australia, Bay of Biscay, Canary Islands and Malaysian Archipelago.
History Tibetan Lamas use coral rosaries. It is one of the seven treasures mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures, Coral Jewelry like coral bangles, coral necklace , coral rings, worn against the skin, touching it, was long thought to be powerful talisman that could stop bleeding, protect from evil spirits, and ward of hurricanes.
The rose pink variety became at this time the most sought after.The traditional center for the fashioning of coral is Torre del Greco, near Naples. It was Napoleon's Italian campaign, with its associated taste for all things Italian that heralded the fashion for carved coral jewellery.
During the 1860's coral beads and ovoids were set into gold brooches, much like turquoise had been. In the 1870's coral was combined in bloomed gold brooches with diamonds and emeralds.
Corals are delicate gems and should be taken proper care of. To clean Coral jewelry, wipe it gently with a moist soft cloth, as Coral is much softer than other gem materials with a hardness of only 3.5.

| Long history pave beads |
|
|
While there are thousands of pave beads to select from on the market, one thing is certain. If you were to compare one bead collector to another, you would find that no two jewelry makers have the same stash.There's no right or wrong way to go as far as bead collecting is concerned. One person may choose to only collect variations of metal beads, while another may prefer hues of green beads.
I'm going to give you some tips of my own about beads that should be an essential part of any bead collection.
Vintage Pave Beads. While most of these are commonly made with round Swarovski crystals, the vintage beads have been retired and are no longer made. If you're lucky, you can occasionally find these in the shape of tubes and cones. Sizes and colors vary, depending on which store you go to. When trying to put together ideas for beaded jewelry pieces, you can experiment while mixing these with stone and wood textures. http://www.epinbeads.com/wholesale-beads/pave-beads/
