There is a particular sophistication to a coral necklace built from small, closely matched beads — and this 20th century Mediterranean Red piece achieves exactly that. The beads range from just 6 × 5 mm to 7.5 × 6.5 mm, a narrow graduation that gives the strand a dense, even, ribbon-like quality: bead after bead of deep, saturated crimson, the colour consistent and glowing from the first to the last. At 640 mm and 31.6 grams, it is long enough to layer beautifully, and the 14 karat gold clasp adds a warm, precious note that elevates this understated piece into something genuinely special. The minor worm holes present are the quiet hallmarks of authenticity — organic marks that no reproduction could ever replicate. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
