Length is its own form of drama — and at 920 mm, this 20th century Mediterranean Red coral necklace is a piece that commands the room before a single bead is examined closely. The strand graduates from a slender 4.5 × 4 mm at the tips to a bold 13 × 12.5 mm at the centre, creating a sweeping, jewel-like focal point of deep, saturated crimson that glows with the unmistakable inner warmth of genuine, undyed Mediterranean coral. At 61.1 grams, the necklace has a confident, substantial weight that moves with a rich, satisfying fluidity as it drapes.
The minor worm holes scattered throughout are the quiet, honest marks of a genuine antique — organic signatures that no reproduction could ever replicate, and that every serious collector will immediately recognise and appreciate. The sterling silver clasp is clean and secure, a precise finish for a necklace of this scale and presence. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A rare 20th century Mediterranean Red coral necklace with sterling silver clasp — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
