A large handmade Red Coral Tree of Life in deep red: 280 polished coral spheres in a rich, glowing red, like a branch of the Mediterranean sea treasured for centuries. Each one is wired by hand onto a full, generous tree set in a white ceramic bowl that you can personalize with your names, your wedding date or a photo from your wedding day.
Coral is the traditional gift for a 35th wedding anniversary, and in many cultures red coral is a symbol of good luck, protection and lasting love. It is often linked with the sign of Scorpio, and in feng shui its red is a colour of joy, which makes this tree a meaningful gift for a wife, a husband or parents celebrating 35 years together.
THE CORAL TOWN BY VESUVIUS
Torre del Greco, a town on the Bay of Naples at the foot of Vesuvius, has fished and carved red coral for centuries. In 1805 King Ferdinand IV gave Paolo Bartolomeo Martin, a businessman from Marseille, a ten year privilege to open a coral workshop there, on condition that he train local workers. The craft grew quickly, and in 1878 a royal decree founded a school for coral working in the town, teaching drawing, carving and engraving. Torre del Greco is still known as the coral capital of Italy.
