u might have been wondering (or not) where did the red corals come from. there're known from ancient times but their „renaissance” falls on the 19th century. one string of corals could cost one whole cow.🐄
at the beginning they were most popular in italy, then all over europe.
the corals were a brides must-have. and the length and number of strings depended on social class or local fashion. for example in Rzeszow region women wore up to a dozen strings of corals.
