Antique Natural Undyed Aka Blood Red Coral Necklace
19th Century — Handcarved Coral Beads
Among all the Aka Blood Red coral necklaces in this collection, this 19th century piece stands out for one extraordinary detail: its central beads reach a full 15.5 × 15.5 mm — an exceptional size for a single-strand antique coral necklace, and a testament to the quality of the raw coral available to 19th century craftsmen. The graduation from 5 × 5 mm at the tips to those commanding 15.5 mm centrepieces creates a necklace of real visual drama, the deep, velvety crimson of the Aka Blood Red colouration intensifying magnificently as the beads grow.
At 620 mm long and 73.1 grams, this necklace carries a confident, substantial weight that speaks to the density and quality of genuine, undyed Aka Blood Red coral. Each bead has been individually handcarved in the 19th century — a labour of extraordinary skill and patience. In perfect condition with no chips or cracks — remarkable for a piece of this age and scale. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A rare 19th century Aka Blood Red coral necklace — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
