This orange coral is about 1 to 2 inch chunks, use to be a very heavy large necklace, I have about 30 pieces and would like some creative suggestions on what to do with it other than jewelry?

Thank you, they are one to two inch squares, so not sure if they would looked good glued on to anything else..?

Very pretty. I'd be reluctant to use glue. Why not just display some of them in a crystal bowl or all of them in one of those big deco brandy sniffers - for now. Could also attach to a cord for tie-backs.

Add wire and wrap around a bottle, table lamp, or other item. This is a bottle I made for my sister with beads: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/91831279873532901/

You can use it as a single button on a chunky sweater. Add copper wire and the coral on a cork for a wine stopper. Use it as a knob on top of a decorative displayed box

Red coral has been traditionally used by the Indians in the Southwest in jewelry combined with turquoise--and more currently with other stones such as lapis, malachite, azurite and such.Google Southwestern jewelry or "Indian jewelry" and take a peek!

Add to a wind chime. They already have the holes.

If you have enough you could use wire and create napkin rings?

If you can't find what to do with them, try displaying them in a shadow box.

If you have a pretty dresser or chest of drawers etc - perhaps you could make some knobs for them? I think they would look beautiful and then bring the coral colour into your bedroom or whatever room you may use them in. Perhaps on your bed you could place a coral bed runner and also add a coral cushion or two on top of your bed? Have fun :)

They'd make great looking knobs for furniture, jewelry boxes, anything that needs a knob.

You can crush them and mix with a clear glue to fill in cracks and crevises on a piece of furniture or old beam.
