Coral is considered endangered, so definitely not going to be the holiday pendant.
I agree. VCA is not going to touch this sensitive topic... is it ethical? is it sustainable?
The photos are from old ads (e.g. the first photo is a 1973 ad shown on page 93 in the Alhambra book).
My guess is this was a celebration of 50 years since the launch of coral which was in 1972. That would be my guess.
