Wow. I just realized that a hat pin that I inherited thirty years ago must be made of red coral! I had no idea what it was made of, just that it was an unusual shape and color. She traveled to Italy several times in the 60’s, so it makes sense now.
The Tunisian city, Tabarca, was a Genovese city whose economy was almost completely based on coral trade. The Genovese people left in 1742 and permanently moved to Carloforte in Southern Sardinia and Nueva Tabarca off the coast of Valencia!
@@mihiec Yeah, there's still Genovese ruins in the city to this day, near the coast! And those Genovese who lived for two centuries in Tabarca developed their own dialect of Genovese, losing the words for ice and snow for example. It's an interesting story!
Here in Eat Africa we respect the endangerment of the elephant by not designing our jewelry or anything else with ivory. It appears that European and North African designers are irresponsibly using red coral without regard to its precarious situation. Very nasty!
No you guys don't there's poachers all over east Africa. Poaching animals for their Ivory so stop lying saying all your people respect the endangered species act and the animals on it!
i dont understand why 'industries' like this have to destroy wildlife when they could just grow/farm it themselves...........................................................................
It doesn't count if it's easy to get. It has to be reserved for the rich, has to be rare, and there has to be suffering. That is what makes something precious.
It was a wonderful documentary coverage on coral trade . Shared by excellent DW documentary channel ... good luck and best wishes for the DW documentary channel.
Amazing to know red coral is not only precious in Japan, but also in the Mediterranean. Note: red coral is cut, polished, and then sculpted into figurines, especially in Okinawa, Japan.
In India Coral are used as Astrological purpose such as planet Mars represent by Coral. Wearing coral can increase your blood flow, reduce stress, increase stamina and aggression and last give you brevity. But all things work if you have authentic coral which match your astro sign. I am also compatible with Coral and Mars.
Here is my solution: if somebody wants red coral, they have to come to the meditereanian and dive themselves or pay someone to dive for them. They can only take as much as they have payed and are allowed, similar to hunting tags. Coral are animals, so why not treat it this way?
"On this occasion, they find no smuggled goods..." Uh huh, right. And I have a bridge to sell you. This DW Documentary - sigh...what a load. I'm sure the effort was made but they see you coming.
Why do you never talk about German problems instead of being so obsessed about Italy? Like all the dirty money Deutsche bank cleans every year: go ask informations about this to german government and see if they want to answer your questions... Italy is the 3rd safest country in the world this year after Norway and Switzerland, why don’t you talk about this?
Yeah - it's truly bizarre that catastrophic climate change and the warming of the world's oceans are happening - and DW Documentary reports on it. Crazy! 🤔
