Tips & Warnings
Be creative. Other interpretations might include jade trees in a beautiful pot, engraved paperweights, sculptures or carvings. Check out vintage and antique shops, too.
If you decide to go traditional and choose coral, try jewelry shops as well as museum catalogs, or rock and mineral shops. Maybe a goldfish bowl with coral stones?
Allow enough time to order from catalogs, engrave gifts, and ship.
