Antique Natural Undyed Mediterranean Red Coral Necklace
20th Century — Handcarved Coral Beads with Silver 925 Clasp
The extraordinary graduation of this 20th century Mediterranean Red coral necklace is what makes it truly exceptional — beads climbing from a slender 7.5 × 4.5 mm at the tips to a commanding 15 × 14 mm at the centre, creating a bold, jewel-like focal point of rare scale and beauty. At 580 mm long and 54.7 grams, this is a necklace with genuine presence: the deep, saturated crimson of the Mediterranean Red colouration growing richer and more intense as the beads increase in size, each one handcarved with exceptional skill and precision.
The near-round 15 × 14 mm central beads are remarkable in size for a single-strand antique coral necklace — a testament to the quality of the raw coral selected and the mastery of the craftsman who shaped it. The sterling silver 925 clasp is a clean, precise finish that complements the richness of the coral without competing with it. 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 20th century Mediterranean Red coral necklace with silver 925 clasp — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
