A 19th century 3-strand Mediterranean Red coral necklace of impressive scale — the three strands graduate boldly from 3mm at the tips to a commanding 9.5mm at the centre of the longest strand, creating a layered, voluminous drape that sits magnificently on the neck. At 52.2 grams, this is a necklace with genuine presence and heft, its deep saturated crimson glowing with the particular inner warmth that only genuine, undyed Mediterranean coral can produce. The 14 karat gold clasp elevates the piece with a touch of precious metal warmth, and the minor worm holes scattered throughout are the unmistakable hallmarks of a true antique — organic, honest, and irreproducible. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A rare 19th century 3-strand Mediterranean Red coral necklace with gold clasp — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
