The premier coral on the market is still "oxblood" red coral which is from the species Corallium. Oxblood Coral NecklaceMost of it is harvested in the deep waters of the Mediterranean and identified throughout history with Italian workmanship. It is also found in the Gulf of Naples near Genoa and off Algiers, and Tunis on the African side. It is also brought up from the waters of Sardinia, Corsica, Catalonia and Provence, as well as along parts of the French and the Spanish seaboard. There has been a coral trade between Naples, Italy, and Marseille, France, for thousands of years. The available coral is now so deep, most of it is harvested using diving robots. Native Amercan's used the dark oxblood red coral in many of their designs as well. Most of the coral was from the Naples region of Italy and the Italians were the master craftsmen and carvers.
