This unique piece had a previous life in France.

The story: Both mystical and magical, corals have been used from the Celts, who used them to set their helmets and swords, to the Chinese, who turned them into miniature talismans. A symbol of fertility in Europe, coral was considered by the Amerindians as a sacred stone capable of protecting against the evil eye. Whatever symbolism you remember, coral enchants as much by its fiery color as by its symbolic richness.
