What distinguishes this 19th century Mediterranean Dark Aka Red coral necklace is the exceptional size and consistency of its beads — ranging from 8.5 × 6.5 mm to 12.5 × 8 mm, these are large, substantial beads that give the necklace a bold, commanding presence from the very first bead to the last. The deep, rich crimson of the Mediterranean Dark Aka Red colouration — one of the most prized and sought-after varieties in the world of antique coral — glows with an intense, saturated warmth that is entirely the work of nature, untouched by any dye or treatment.
At 62.6 grams, this necklace carries a satisfying, authoritative weight that speaks to the quality and density of genuine, undyed coral. The 14 karat gold clasp is a warm, luxurious finish that complements the richness of the coral beautifully. In perfect condition with no chips or cracks — exceptional for a handcarved 19th century piece of this scale. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
