Ancient Egyptians used coral pieces in tombs as protection against evil spirits in the afterworld, as it is believed to contain a drop of divine blood. There was significant trade in coral between the Mediterranean and India at the beginning of the first millennium. â™” The Gauls often used coral as ornamentation for their helmets and weapons in the belief that it was a protective stone. The Romans hung branches of coral around the necks of their children to protect them from danger. In the early 20th century, the people of Italy used coral for protection from the "evil eye" and for infertility. â™” See more at my shop: www.CinnamonAndSilver.com *These statements are for entertainment and informational purposes only, and not intended to promise positive outcomes of wearing this jewelry, or diagnose or treat medical conditions.
