Tumbled round beads from a plant called sea bamboo, or bamboo coral with a diameter of 8 mm with a hole for a thread with a diameter of 0.7 mm. It is a deep-sea plant that is white in color. However, real coral is created by animals and is thus an imitation. The beads are surface-dyed.
Sea bamboo is naturally white and always turns red. Unlike coral reefs, sea bamboo or bamboo coral is not a protected and endangered species and thus offers an ideal substitute for protected and endangered coral reefs, which according to the UN resolution may not be mined at all, or only under conditions of sustainability in quantities that are able to grow up.
In July 2017, a UN resolution was passed, according to which the mining of coral reefs was significantly reduced worldwide. Due to this resolution, practically all producers of coral objects in the world gradually ceased their activities during 2018, or modified their trade and eliminated the offer of coral objects from it. In the course of 2018, natural coral began to be gradually replaced by artificial - synthetic ones in all production areas. In accordance with the UN resolution, our e-shop to support the sustainability of coral reefs also eliminated almost all items from natural coral during 2019 and replaced them with those from synthetic coral.
Due to the color setting of the monitor, the color of the goods may differ slightly from reality.
