Three strands of Aka Blood Red coral beads — the rarest and most coveted of all coral colours — come together in this 19th century necklace to create something genuinely extraordinary. The beads are small and precisely shaped, ranging from just 4 × 2 mm to 5 × 4 mm, and it is precisely this intimacy of scale that makes the triple-strand construction so effective: strand upon strand of deep, velvety crimson, each bead catching the light in its own way, the combined effect a rich, layered cascade of colour that no single-strand piece could ever replicate. At 53.2 grams across two strand lengths of 440 mm and 480 mm, this necklace has a satisfying, substantial weight that moves with a quiet authority. The gold-plated clasp provides a warm, regal finish. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
