40–300Alghero red coral jewelry in Alghero
Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum) is one of the most distinctive materials of Alghero’s craftsmanship. In the city’s workshops it is cut, smoothed, and polished to create necklaces, earrings, rings, cameos, and small pendants often set in silver or gold. The color ranges from deep red to orange-red and softer pinkish tones, with slight irregularities that reveal the natural origin of the coral branch. Each piece retains part of the material’s original form, which is why no two jewels are ever identical. The result is a small yet visually distinctive object closely tied to the sea that surrounds the city.
