Two-Tone Coral Necklaces
Things have been a bit jewelry-centric (RE: girly) around here this week, but would you look at these two-tone coral necklaces from LEIF?? They’re stunning. And I can’t apologize for stunning, now can I. (via Cargoh)

July 28, 2011 at 1:30 pmisn’t coral like endangered? maybe i am missing something and this isn’t real coral?

July 28, 2011 at 2:01 pmIt’s real coral, Katie. Which means I won’t be buying it, because it IS endangered.

July 28, 2011 at 2:40 pmIf it is found on the seashore it is already dead. (No problem.) But, if they are cutting it off a reef it is very bad.

July 28, 2011 at 2:44 pmThanks for the comments, both sides of the argument are valid ones. I’m not sure where the artist sources her coral, however.

July 28, 2011 at 2:48 pmI NEED THESE! All three of them! They’re beautiful, it would be nice to know where they come from however.

July 28, 2011 at 2:50 pmI’ve emailed the artist to see if we can’t get to the bottom of this question.

July 28, 2011 at 2:55 pmHere we go! Straight from the seller’s mouth:
“the necklaces use broken pieces of coral that are washed up on shore and therefore already dead.”
thanks for the eco-concerns, friends!

July 28, 2011 at 3:26 pmOh, that’s cool and good to know!

July 29, 2011 at 4:24 amWhen the coral dies it slowly degrades and dissolves back into the ocean as calcium carbonate, so even dead coral needs to stay in the sea. CO2 in the atmosphere is reducing the amount of calcium carbonate available to organisms so every little shell and dead piece of coral is required for calcifying species (such as shellfish, crustaceans, bony fish and corals). Buy and then throw back in the sea ladies!!
