How do I clean antique coral?

Clean antique coral gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to water, as organic coral is sensitive to acids and moisture.

Is natural red coral dyed?

Many fine antique pieces feature natural un-dyed red coral that retains its original Mediterranean colour. Examination under magnification often reveals organic growth patterns rather than artificial colour treatments.

What periods do these pieces span?

The pieces span from the Regency and Victorian eras through the Edwardian period and into the mid-twentieth century. Earlier items often feature carved cameos, while later decades favour long bead strands and Secessionist silver mounts.

How should I store coral jewellery?

Store coral pieces individually in soft pouches to prevent scratching from harder gemstones and metals. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to preserve their natural moisture and colour.
