Kai Ula Lāʻau (Red Sea Treasure)
Island soul. Worn bold.
Description
Bold. Grounded. Deeply storied.
This striking necklace is crafted from vintage, genuine Italian ox-blood red coral nugget beads, comprising approximately 65% of the strand. The remaining portion features vintage Italian red coral tube-shaped beads, balanced with warm 14k gold-filled accents for contrast and glow.
The coral’s rich, deep red tone evokes the warmth of island sunsets and the powerful rhythm of the sea. Strung on a flexible crystal-satin cord, the necklace moves naturally with the body — fluid, comfortable, and beautifully draped.
A 14k gold-filled round magnetic clasp ensures ease of wear while maintaining refined elegance.
This piece hangs at 20.5 inches, sitting gracefully at the collarbone with presence and strength.
🌊 Symbolism & Meaning
Red coral has long been revered in Mediterranean and Italian culture as a symbol of:
• Protection
• Vitality
• Courage
• Good fortune
In Italy, red coral is traditionally given as a gift to protect children and ward off negative energy. Across coastal cultures, it represents life-force energy and strength drawn from the sea.
This necklace carries that legacy forward — powerful, protective, and timeless.

Kai Ula Lāʻau (Red Sea Treasure) - Vintage Red Coral Necklace
For Vintage Italian Red Coral Jewelry
Red coral is an organic gemstone formed by living marine organisms, making it softer and more delicate than traditional stones. With proper care, your piece will remain vibrant for generations.
• Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising
• Avoid perfumes, lotions, oils, and hairspray directly on the coral
• Do not expose to harsh chemicals or cleaning agents
• Store separately in your Quarry Shop box to prevent scratching
• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear
• Never soak coral or use ultrasonic cleanersBecause coral is organic, prolonged exposure to moisture or chemicals can dull its natural luster.
This piece is created using vintage Mediterranean coral, not newly harvested coral.
By sourcing vintage materials, The Quarry Shop helps reduce demand for modern coral harvesting and supports more responsible, small-batch design. Each coral bead carries decades of history, giving new life to existing natural resources rather than extracting new ones.
Intentional. Ethical. Enduring.
