Local souvenir · Alghero
The red coral of Alghero is a natural material of marine origin, characterized by a compact structure and a color that ranges from deep red to soft pink. After harvesting, it is shaped through manual processes that define its form without altering its natural nature. The surface may be polished or left slightly irregular, depending on the craftsmanship. Each piece shows unique variations, determined by the coral’s natural growth and the artisan’s direct intervention. It is used to create jewelry and small decorative objects while preserving the material’s original characteristics.
