A coral cameo of this quality is a miniature work of art — a handcarved portrait in one of the rarest and most coveted materials in the antique jewellery world. This 20th century Aka Red coral cameo measures 28 × 16 mm, its deep, velvety crimson surface carved with the precision and patience that only a master craftsman can achieve. The Aka Red colouration — that intense, saturated crimson unique to the finest antique coral — gives the carving a richness and depth that makes the portrait seem almost to glow from within.
Versatile in its wearability, it can be mounted as a pendant, brooch, or ring — a rare raw jewel for a bespoke commission or a collection piece to be treasured as it is. At 4.6 grams, it is light and precious. There is a very small chip on the head of the carving, which is entirely consistent with its age and does not detract from the beauty or rarity of the piece. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A rare 20th century Aka Red coral cameo — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
