What makes this 19th century Mediterranean Red coral necklace truly exceptional is the scale of its central beads — graduating from a slender 5 × 4.5 mm at the tips to a magnificent 18 × 17 mm at the centre, those near-spherical central beads are among the largest in the entire collection. At that size, the deep, saturated crimson of the Mediterranean Red colouration achieves a depth and intensity that smaller beads simply cannot match — each central bead a bold, glowing jewel of natural colour that anchors the entire piece. At 600 mm and 53 grams, the necklace has a confident, wearable weight, and the 14 karat gold clasp is a warm, precious finish for a piece of this calibre. In perfect condition with no chips or cracks. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
