Among all the Mediterranean Red coral necklaces in this collection, this 19th century piece stands out for one remarkable detail: its central beads reach a full 13mm — an exceptional size for a single-strand antique coral necklace, and a testament to the quality of the raw coral available to 19th century craftsmen. The graduation from 4mm at the tips to those commanding 13mm centrepieces creates a necklace of real visual drama, the deep saturated crimson of the Mediterranean Red colouration intensifying magnificently as the beads grow. At 43.3 grams, it carries a confident, substantial weight, and the silver 835 clasp — a hallmark of quality European silverwork — is a fitting finish for a piece of this calibre. 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.
