Scale and rarity define this 19th century Orange coral necklace as something truly exceptional. The beads graduate from a generous 8 × 7 mm at the tips to a commanding 15 × 14.5 mm at the centre — an extraordinary size for a single-strand antique coral necklace, and a testament to the quality of the raw coral available to 19th century craftsmen. At 650 mm long and 92.4 grams, this is one of the most substantial single-strand coral necklaces you will encounter: the warm, sun-drenched vibrancy of the Orange colouration intensifying magnificently as the beads grow toward the centre, each one catching the light with a glowing, almost amber warmth.
The 14 karat gold clasp is a warm, regal finish that complements the richness of the coral beautifully, and the necklace is in perfect condition with no chips or cracks — extraordinary for a 19th century piece of this scale. This is a necklace that announces itself the moment it is worn. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A rare 19th century Orange coral necklace with 14 karat gold clasp — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
