The faceted cut transforms coral into something closer to a gemstone — and this 20th century Aka Blood Red necklace is a masterclass in that technique. Each bead has been cut with flat facets that catch and reflect the light in a way no round bead can replicate, the deep velvety crimson of the Aka Blood Red colouration fracturing into a subtle, shifting brilliance with every movement. The beads graduate from 7 × 5 mm to 11.5 × 6 mm across a 610 mm strand, their elongated faceted form creating a necklace of striking visual rhythm — bold enough to command attention, refined enough to wear with anything. At 50.1 grams and finished with a sterling silver 925 clasp, this is a rare combination: the rarest coral colour, in the rarest cut, in exceptional 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.
