Red Coral: Beliefs and Traditions around the World
In another post of this blog we already talked about the Streets of Coral but today we'll put an accent to its mighty powers.
Red coral holds deep cultural significance in various societies around the world, often intertwined with beliefs, traditions, and mythology. Here are some examples:
Coral in Mediterranean and Middle East:
Italy and Ancient Rome
Ancient Rome: Red coral was highly prized for its beauty and believed to possess protective powers against evil spirits and the "evil eye." It was often used in amulets and jewelry.
We recently talked about the cornicello necklace in red coral that has its root in the ancient roman city of Pompeii.
Italy: In Italy, red coral is still considered a symbol of good luck and protection, especially for children. It is often worn as a necklace or bracelet.
Middle East
Red coral is also significant in Middle Eastern cultures, where it is believed to bring prosperity and good fortune. It is often used in jewelry and religious objects.
Asia:
India: In India, red coral is associated with the planet Mars and is believed to be beneficial for those born under this astrological sign. It is also used in religious ceremonies and worn as a protective amulet.
In Chinese culture, red coral is considered a symbol of happiness, longevity, and good fortune. It is often given as a gift to children and is used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Red is also the typical color of the wedding so it takes as well a symbolism dealing with prosperity.
In Japan, red coral is known as "sangokorai" and is associated with the sea and its protective powers. It is often used in jewelry and decorative objects.
Other Cultures:
Native American Tribes: Some Native American tribes used red coral in their ceremonies and believed it to have healing properties.

It's important to note that these are just a few examples of the cultural significance of red coral. The specific beliefs and traditions associated with red coral vary widely across different cultures and regions and at least by time changing.
Now let’s talk in deep about red coral and marriage
Specific Benefits for Marriage: The Coral Wedding
Thirty-five years of marriage is quite a milestone to reach. Few people know that this anniversary is commonly called a “coral wedding,” it is halfway between the silver wedding anniversary (25 years) and the golden wedding anniversary ( 50 years ).
The idea that red coral has specific benefits for marriage is primarily rooted in cultural beliefs and folklore, obviously it has not a scientific evidence.
Here's a breakdown of the common beliefs: consider them, anyway, with a critical eye:
Protection and Harmony
Red coral is often associated with protection from evil influences and negative energies, which some believe can contribute to a harmonious marriage.
Love and Passion
Red coral's vibrant color is sometimes linked to passion and love, making it a symbolic gift for couples.
Fertility and Childbirth
In some cultures, red coral is believed to promote fertility and safe childbirth, which could be seen as beneficial for a marriage aiming for a family.
Protection from evil spirits
This could be interpreted as promoting a harmonious and safe environment for a marriage.
Good luck and prosperity
While red coral is often associated with positive symbolism and traditional beliefs, there's no scientific evidence to support any direct health benefits or side effects from wearing it.
Fake Coral Works as well for astrological, lucky or healing?
However, a few things to consider about the fake ones:
Dyeing the Coral
Some red coral jewelry is dyed to enhance its color. These dyes can sometimes cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
If real coral has for tradition healing powers the fake one could potentially damage you!
