The word "huge" in the title of this necklace is not hyperbole — it is a statement of fact. At 194.5 grams and 600 mm long, this 20th century Momo Salmon coral necklace is a monumental piece: the beads range from 10 × 7 mm at the tips to an extraordinary 25 × 12.5 mm at the centre, creating a centrepiece of rare scale and presence. The Momo Salmon colouration — that warm, rosy-peach tone that sits between the blush of Salmon and the golden warmth of Momo — glows with a soft, luminous depth that is impossible to replicate artificially. Each bead has been individually handcarved, its surface polished to reveal the natural beauty of genuine, undyed coral.
The minor worm holes present throughout are the honest marks of a genuine antique — organic signatures that authenticate this piece as entirely natural and irreproducibly real. The sterling silver mount and 12 karat gold clasp together create a warm, precious finish worthy of a necklace of this extraordinary scale. This is not simply a piece of jewellery; it is a statement. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A monumental 20th century Momo Salmon coral necklace — a museum-grade collection piece of exceptional rarity and historical significance.
