This 19th century Mediterranean Red coral necklace rewards the collector who looks closely. The beads graduate from 5 × 4 mm at the tips to 14 × 12 mm at the centre — a generous, dramatic range that creates a bold focal point of deep, saturated crimson at the heart of the piece. At 580 mm and 47.5 grams, it has a confident, wearable weight, and the sterling silver clasp is clean and secure. What distinguishes this piece is the quality of the coral itself: the Mediterranean Red colouration is vivid and consistent across every bead, with none of the fading or variation that lesser pieces can show after a century of existence. In perfect condition with no chips or cracks — a testament to the exceptional care with which this piece has been preserved. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
