Avoid Coral Jewelry

When you are shopping for gifts and jewelry, steer clear of gifts that use real coral or other marine animal products. Deepwater pink and red corals in particular have been prized for their beauty in jewelry making, but they belong in the sea, not in our homes. Visit SeaWeb’s Too Precious to Wear site to see what can happen when artists and designers use their skill to create coral-inspired (instead of coral-derived) pieces.
