The oval bead is one of the most elegant forms in antique coral — and this Aka Blood Red necklace showcases it at its most refined. The beads graduate from a compact 4 × 3.5 mm at the tips to a bold 12.5 × 11 mm at the centre, their elongated form catching the light differently from every angle, the deep velvety crimson of the Aka Blood Red colouration shifting and deepening as the beads grow. At 760 mm long and 35.5 grams, this is a necklace with real presence — long enough to layer or wear as a single sweeping strand, the 9 karat gold clasp adding a warm, understated finish. The minor worm holes scattered throughout are the honest signatures of a genuine antique, marks that authenticate this piece as entirely natural and irreproducibly old. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
