PACIFIC CORAL: “CORALLIUM SECUNDUM”
According to the legend, the coral was born from the blood of the beheaded Medusa, that coloured and petrified the seaweeds upon which Perseus had placed her head, turning them into coral. However, the science has another explanation: the coral is the calcareous secretion produced by little octopus communities, with support and protection function. These secretions, blending together, result in colonies.
In jewellery, the most appreciated corals, both for their value and beauty, are those from the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
The coral coming from the Pacific Ocean can be divided into three subcategories: Corallium Elatius, Secundum and Japonicum.
Secundum coral is fished off in southern Japan and Hawaii. It is characterized by fan shaped branches and by light tones, from the pure white of Midway coral to the pinkish white of Misu coral.
18 Kt GOLD
Pure gold, as present in nature, is a malleable material. So, in order to be used in jewellery, it must be alloyed with other metals. As a consequence, gold can have different colorations: yellow gold requires additional alloys like brass, zinc and silver; in white gold, on the other hand, are used alloys of brass (in reduced amount compared to yellow gold) and palladium.
SAPPHIRE
Sapphire is a mineral, a variety of corundum, which occurs in a wide variety of colours, but that normally identifies with the blue coloured gemstone. The blue shade is given by the inner presence of iron and titanium. Sapphire appears in many myths. According to Greek mythology, when Prometheus stole the fire, he bought also a sapphire with him. Persians, on the other hand, believed that a giant sapphire carried the weight of the world and that its reflections coloured the sky.
DIAMOND
From Greek Adamas, unconquerable, the name diamond refers to the hardness of this precious gem. Diamond is the crystalized form of carbon, formed below the Earth’s surface over billions of years; indeed, it needs high pression and temperature to crystallize.
Diamond is always been considered a symbol of love: the roman emperor Maximilian I started this tradition by gifting his beloved Mary of Burgundy with a diamond ring.
