If these had be cut in Italy they'd be even more expensive
The price of coral increases dramatically with the size of the branches the bead are cut from. The branches that these rondelles were made from were more than 8mm in diameter which is very large for Mediterranean coral which has been harvested for millennia.
Valued worldwide by humans for over 10,000 years, coral was treasured by ancient Egyptians and other Africans, Indians, Greeks and Romans as well as Celtic tribes of northern Europe, Tibetans, Chinese, and North American Indians.
Mediterranean red-orange coral is most famous.
