Mediterranean Dark Red coral is among the most prized of all antique coral colours — a deeper, more intense crimson than standard Mediterranean Red, its colouration carrying a richness and saturation that collectors immediately recognise and prize. This 19th century necklace presents that rare hue in a beautifully compact form: beads ranging from 8 × 7 mm to 10.5 × 9 mm across a 450 mm strand, the generous bead size allowing the full depth of the Dark Red colouration to express itself in every single piece. At 50.7 grams and finished with a 9 karat gold clasp, this is a necklace that sits close to the neck with a bold, jewel-like presence — short enough to wear as a statement piece, substantial enough to feel genuinely precious. 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.
A rare 19th century Mediterranean Dark Red coral necklace with 9 karat gold clasp — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
