Brooches with blood coral

Blood coral is a natural marine material and has been used in jewelry for centuries. The color ranges from bright red to darker shades of red with a matte sheen. In gold brooches, the coral provides contrast and depth. In silver brooches, the overall effect often has a cooler and more graphic look, with the color of the coral being particularly prominent.
The coral is usually worked smoothly, as a cabochon or bead. The color and shape, rather than the cut, determine the overall effect. Each piece of coral is unique, giving each brooch its own unique look.
Style and origin through the ages
Brooches with blood coral were especially popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. During this period, you see floral shapes, branch motifs, and symmetrical designs. Blood coral was often used in Mediterranean jewelry, often in gold. Later, more streamlined silver designs also appeared, where form became more important than decoration.
These style differences are still clearly visible today in antique and vintage brooches. The material remained the same, the design changed with the times.
