Vintage Coral w/ Trade Brass

Handwoven cord: sable + coral, vintage coral nuggets, ancient Yoruba coin clasp, bronze and African trade brass findings. ~18”

Continuing my coral obsession, this edition of vintage coral nuggets, because they demand to be worked into this wearable art form!

These vintage coral nuggets are reputed to come from a storage vault from the 70’s - absolutely stunning color! I love using the color change in the cording to compliment the progression from ancient metal, bronze, and trade brass beads into the sublime natural coral beads. To me, this would be an every day adornment type of piece. Wear at your leisure, for profession, play, or special occasion.

The “stone” of the sea, coral has been worn to influence inner changes, dispel fears, depression, and anxiety, bringing peace within. Historical lore around coral: dispels nightmares, offering peaceful sleep, a deeper connection to one’s intuition, as well as to the reverence of the Universe.
