<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 351637, member: 2844&quot;]I didn&#039;t really start out that way, but since I grew up in a &#039;coral wearing country&#039; (my term), and collect ethnic jewellery, my coral jewellery collection keeps growing.</p><p>I am in the Netherlands, and many Dutch regional costumes can&#039;t do without lavish amounts of Mediterranean red (and salmon) coral. I have some coral jewellery that was passed down through the family. </p><p>Traditionally red coral was regarded as having medicinal properties against anemia, so important for women. In other cultures red coral is worn for the same reason, and is often seen as having talismanic properties.</p><p>I also have some black coral, from Yemen and Indonesia. In both countries it is thought to have spiritual properties, Indonesians also wear it as a remedy for arthritis.</p><p>As for the other colours, I love salmon and angelskin coral, and I have one rare white coral Shaman&#039;s bracelet from Madura, Indonesia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
