Cleaning: Gently clean the coral beads and hooks with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive materials to preserve the natural coral and plated finish.
Storage: Store in a soft pouch or separate compartment to protect the coral beads and prevent scratches or tarnish on the hooks.
Avoid Moisture and Chemicals: Remove before swimming, bathing, or applying personal care products such as perfumes or hairsprays, as these can damage the plating and natural coral.
Handling: Handle with care to avoid chipping or damaging the coral beads, which can be delicate.
Following these care tips will help maintain the beauty and integrity of your Blue Coral Earrings.
6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm.

In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the general description or “dimensions” tab.
Blue Coral, scientifically known as Heliopora coerulea, is not a gemstone but a rare form of coral distinguished by its blue skeleton. It’s found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, including the Great Barrier Reef, Japan, and the Indian Ocean.
The name “Blue Coral” directly references its distinctive blue coloration, caused by iron salts within its skeleton. It’s the only octocoral known to produce a massive skeleton, setting it apart from other corals:
Heliopora is derived from Greek, meaning “sun pore,” referring to its structure.
While not traditionally associated with metaphysical properties in the same way as gemstones, Blue Coral, due to its connection with the ocean, can be seen to resonate with the throat chakra for communication and the sacral chakra for creativity and emotion:
Cultural Symbolism: In cultures where the ocean plays a central role, corals like Blue Coral might symbolize life, protection, and the mysteries of the deep sea. They are often viewed as guardians of marine life, embodying the spirit of the ocean.
Modern Appreciation: Blue Coral’s rarity and beauty have led to its use in aquariums, where it’s appreciated for both its aesthetic and ecological value, symbolizing the importance of preserving marine environments.
