ABOUT PRECIOUS CORAL – OCEAN BORN • ETHICALLY SOURCED • MASTERFULLY CRAFTED

Precious Coral is one of the rarest organic gemstones on Earth, formed slowly over decades in the deep, quiet parts of the ocean. Although the world has over 10,000 coral species, only a very small group, known as Precious Coral (family: Corallidae), is legally allowed for jewellery use under CITES and international wildlife regulations.

These approved species do not come from living reefs and do not harm ocean ecosystems.
CIBJO (World Jewellery Confederation) confirms that most jewellery-grade precious corals are not listed as endangered, making them safe and legal for international trade when sourced responsibly.

Ethical & Sustainable Coral Sourcing

At HRHK Corals, we work only with officially approved, CITES-compliant coral.
This ensures:

• No damage to natural reefs

• No harvesting of endangered coral species

• Only legally permitted, sustainable Coral varieties

• Full compliance with global marine protection laws

• Complete transparency of coral origin and treatment

This is the foundation of our brand’s promise — authentic, responsible, and ocean-friendly coral jewellery.

Japan – Home of the World’s Finest Coral

• Famous varieties include:

  • Blood Red Coral (deep red, rare, with natural white “fu” core)

  • Momo Coral (peach–pink shades, extremely prized)

• Relationship stability

In South India, Coral has deep cultural value and is traditionally added to Mangalsutra designs, following the custom:
“The weight of Coral should match the weight of gold in the Mangalsutra.”
