Italy (Mediterranean) Red Coral
Mediterranean coral, harvested off the Italian coast for centuries and worked in the historic coral-cutting town of Torre del Greco, is the traditional benchmark origin for fine red coral.
Italian Mediterranean coral is prized for its classic, even red-to-deep-red tone and has centuries of trade history behind it, with Torre del Greco remaining a center of coral cutting and craftsmanship to this day. Wild Mediterranean harvesting is now tightly regulated due to depleted reef populations, which has made genuinely old-stock Italian material an increasingly scarce, premium-priced segment of the market.
