Antique Natural Undyed Mediterranean Aka Red Coral Necklace
19th Century — Handcarved Coral Beads
A piece of living history — this antique Mediterranean Aka Red coral necklace dates to the 19th century, making it one of the oldest and most historically significant coral pieces you will encounter. Each bead has been individually handcarved from genuine, natural, undyed Mediterranean Aka Red coral, displaying the deep, rich crimson that has made this variety the most prized and celebrated coral in the world for centuries.
The uniformly rounded beads range from 5.5 × 5.5 mm to 11 × 11 mm, creating a beautifully balanced necklace with a classic, timeless silhouette. At 41.7 grams, it carries the satisfying weight of genuine, dense natural coral — a weight that speaks to its authenticity and quality.
Surviving over a century in excellent condition — free of chips or cracks — this necklace is a truly extraordinary find. A piece of this age and quality is exceptionally rare, and represents a genuine investment for the serious collector of antique coral jewellery.
