The beauty of a blood coral bracelet
Red coral is a rare natural product native to the warm waters of the Mediterranean. For centuries, it has been prized for its rich color and symbolism. In the Netherlands, red coral was especially popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, where it was often incorporated into jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. A red coral bracelet symbolized elegance and often served as a status symbol, especially in regions like Zeeland and West Friesland.
Historical meaning of blood coral bracelets
Red coral jewelry played an important role in traditional Dutch costumes. Bracelets were often worn as part of a complete jewelry set, along with necklaces and earrings. The red coral was combined with gold or silver details, which not only made the jewelry beautiful but also a sign of wealth and craftsmanship. In Zeeland, for example, women adorned their wrists with bracelets of small, perfectly formed beads, often enhanced with a striking silver clasp.
