I'm sure that Paul's is real coral however i agree with Peter that
currently there is simply 'too' much 'red coral' junk jewellery on the
market for it all to be real. The sea bamboo i suspect maybe another
term for the red mangrove plant that thrives on south asian coastlines.

I was curious about that, too. The most common usage of "sea bamboo"
seems to be for a variety of kelp. I didn't find any reference that
told what the jewelry was actually made from.
