At 105.9 grams, this is one of the most substantial Mediterranean Red coral necklaces in the entire collection — a 19th century piece of genuine collector-grade weight and presence. The beads graduate from 8 × 6.5 mm to a commanding 12.5 × 8.5 mm, their oval form and generous scale creating a necklace that sits on the neck with a rich, authoritative drape. The deep, saturated crimson of the Mediterranean Red colouration is at its most impressive in beads of this size: each one a bold, glowing jewel of natural colour, the warmth and depth intensifying as the beads grow toward the centre. The 14 karat gold clasp is a fitting, precious finish for a piece of this calibre. In perfect condition with no chips or cracks — a truly exceptional 19th century survival. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
