Antique Aka Blood Red Coral Necklace, 6.5 mm Beads
Aka blood-red coral necklace with 6.5 mm beads
A single strand of red coral beads is individually knotted on red thread, creating a rhythmic line of colour. The beads are recorded as 6.5 × 6.5 mm, while the close-up photographs show subtle variations in shape, tone and surface texture. A rounded coral-coloured clasp component and metal fittings complete the necklace.
The existing record identifies this as a 20th-century necklace of natural, undyed, hand-carved Aka blood-red coral, with an 8-karat gold clasp. These recorded details are retained without assigning a geographic origin or claiming that appearance alone establishes age, treatment or metal fineness.
