How to wear it

Wear it over white, beige, or light gray to make the colors stand out without competition.

A deep red top will echo the red beads, creating an elegant continuity.

An element of your outfit (a bag, a scarf) recalling the yellow of the necklace will add a polished visual cohesion.

Dare the contrast with a fitted black blouse or a thin turtleneck, the necklace then becomes the centerpiece.

Whatever your preference for jewelry, let this necklace shine alone or accompany it only with a discreet natural bracelet.

Light jeans and a simple top will be enough for a vibrant look full of personality.

A monochrome dress (black or deep red) will bring an elegant touch, while effectively letting the necklace capture the gaze.

Why are these pieces of jewelry called "Coral"?

The name "Coral" does not refer to marine coral, but to the coral snake, recognizable by its colored rings.

Originally, the patterns of these handcrafted pieces are inspired by the colors and bands of this snake.

Over time, they have been offered in many color variations, while retaining this natural inspiration.
