These beads are coral and natural resin mixtures. One 16 1/2" strand (approximately 30-32 beads ranging in 8-13mm long and 55-60 mm round). Coral beads (called iyun in Yoruba and Mawule in the Fon language of Benin Republic) have long been identified by Afrikans as symbols of elegance, grace, authority, and statesmanship/womanship. In Afrikan culture, the corals are worn by royals, high ranking chiefs, but they are also used for special occasions such as weddings where bride and groom are "royals for a day". We offer these affordable corals to spruce up your Afrikan essence, thus making that connection with your ancestors that has been long awaited. Each order will include instructions on how best to take care of your corals, thus maximizing their beauty and longevity. Coral contains high amounts of calcium and calcite. Coral also has spiritual and health implications. Coral is considered a healing agent. It is known to bring diplomacy (one reason it is associated with kings, queens, and chiefs), concurrence, quiets emotions, and brings peace to the inner self. Coral facilitates intuition (in the past a highly required attribute for rulers), imagination, visualization, expedition, and helps in the acceleration of the transference of knowledge. It strengthens the circulatory and bone structure of the body. It helps in the fight against anemia, arthritis and much more.
