This is not simply a necklace — it is a wearable cabinet of curiosities. A strand of fine 4.5mm Mediterranean Red coral beads serves as the foundation, from which hang an extraordinary collection of handcarved coral figurines ranging from 11mm to 22mm, each one a miniature sculpture in its own right. Almost every figurine is embellished with 14 karat or 18 karat gold — tiny settings, caps, and mounts that transform each carved coral form into a jewel of the highest order. The colours span Mediterranean Red, Orange, and Salmon, creating a rich, layered palette that shifts and catches the light with every movement. At 46.2 grams and priced at the top of the coral necklace category, this 20th century piece is among the most complex and collectible in the entire collection. 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.
