Antique Natural Undyed 3-Strand Orange Momo Coral Necklace

Three-strand Orange Momo coral necklace

Three graduated strands of orange coral beads form a layered necklace, with larger beads gathered towards the front and smaller beads near the clasp. Pale bands and patches are visible on some of the central beads, adding contrast to the orange tones. Four gold-tone spacer bars keep the strands aligned, while a silver-tone clasp joins them at the back.

The existing collection description identifies the beads as natural, undyed Orange Momo coral, hand-carved in the 20th century. The clasp is recorded as silver-plated metal; the spacer bars' metal composition is not specified.
