Slender, refined, and deeply beautiful — this 19th century Aka Blood Red coral necklace is a study in elegant graduation. The beads climb from a delicate 4 × 3.5 mm at the tips to a striking 13 × 12 mm at the centre, creating a bold, jewel-like focal point that draws the eye with every movement. The deep, saturated crimson of the Aka Blood Red colouration — that intense, velvety red unique to the finest antique coral — grows richer and more commanding as the beads increase in size toward the centre.
At 34.3 grams, this is a lighter, more wearable piece than many in the collection — the kind of necklace that can be worn daily without effort, yet carries the unmistakable presence of a genuine 19th century antique. The 8 karat gold clasp is a warm, period-appropriate finish that complements the richness of the coral beautifully. In perfect 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.
A rare 19th century Aka Blood Red coral necklace with gold clasp — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
