History: Corals first appeared in the Cambrian about 535 million years ago. Fossils are extremely rare until the Ordovician period, 100 million years later, when Heliolitida, rugose, and tabulate corals became widespread. Paleozoic corals often contained numerous endobiotic symbionts.

In the Victorian era, babies of wealthy families had teething rings made of coral. Not long ago, Assael discovered a pristine trove of Angel Skin Coral legally harvested before it was classified as an endangered specie; a cache of raw vintage coral of unparalleled quality and beauty.

Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.
