[About deep sea coral] This type of coral was collected near the Hawaiian Islands and Midway Islands, and because it is no longer collected, the amount in circulation is decreasing year by year. At that time, items collected by Japanese ships were collected in Kochi and put up for bid. It is sometimes called pink coral together with other pink corals. There is no such thing as white fu, but as the name suggests, it is collected from 1000m deep sea, so it often cracks due to sudden changes in water pressure. It has a sense of transparency, and is characterized by white, pale pink, and dark pink patterns, giving it a very mysterious color. Basically, corals will be rated higher if they have no uneven color, but deep-sea corals are supposed to have this pattern, so you can choose whatever you like.
*This is a general explanation, and there are exceptions even within the same type. [About gemstone coral] In general, corals that are processed as gemstones are made by polishing the bone shafts produced by living creatures called corals. Corals are in the same family as jellyfish and sea anemones, and can be divided into hexagonal coralline and eight-lineal coralline, depending on the number of polyp tentacles. There are two types of coral: hard coral, which has a hard bone axis, and soft coral, which does not have a bone axis. Because the shaft of the six-point coral is brittle, eight-point coral is used as jewelry, but most corals are soft corals that do not have a hard shaft, and only some types are processed into jewelry.
[About Sansui, the precious coral] Our company is located in Kochi Prefecture, a world-famous coral production area.We are a workshop that carries out integrated production of coral, from raw wood procurement to loose processing, and jewelry, from design to precious metal processing. Coral is a gemstone created by nature, and it is difficult to make the same loose gemstone because the colors and shapes of the raw wood vary widely. Sometimes there are items with very beautiful color gradations that cannot be expressed in grades or words, or items with beautiful shapes that cannot be created by human hands. These are also one of the charms of coral, a gem created by nature. In addition, we process the raw wood so that it does not go to waste, and we offer a variety of products, from high quality coral to accessory quality, so please be sure to find your favorite coral.
