Our Ivie Ebo 18 Karat Coral Bracelet features Vintage Mediterranean precious coral “Ivie Ebo” beads & 18 karat gold accents
The pink, orange, and red gemstones became very much intertwined in West Africa particularly, Nigerian culture many years ago, as our Obas or Kings in Benin Kingdom adorned these as a sign of Opulence and power. They were eventually used as money. The leader would also commission coral regalia, vests, and crowns for ceremonies.
In Benin and other parts of Nigeria 🇳🇬, including the Yoruba and Igbo regions, the Coral tradition remains in many cultures where Coral is still highly appreciated. Today, Corals used in beads or other jewelry are imitations and alternatives to the valuable and now scarce precious corals.
***Please note the price stated is for a single bracelet.
