8.5mm rounds, bamboo coral, true red, 16 inch strand.

These pictures represent the batch you are buying from.

These rounds are stunningly rich in color and super smooth. The smooth surface of a coral bead can only be attained from cutting the center(core) of the branches of coral; the outer parts of coral has more pores and black markings. Since rounds takes more material to make than any other shape, strands like these are highly sought after and will compliment any style of design. These rounds are 8.5mm in diameter, average weight per strand is 41 grams.

The highest quality dyed coral is generally made from bamboo coral. Natural bamboo colors range from light gray to tan, but it absorbs dye amazingly due to it porous nature. Be aware that NATURAL RED coral are illegal to import and export, meaning they are very expensive due to lack of availability. So if you have bought or planning to buy natural red coral, make sure you know your sources and not be conned into buying dyed bamboo coral at a much higher price tag.
