There is a satisfying evenness to this 19th century Orange coral necklace that sets it apart from the more dramatically graduated pieces. The beads range from 10 × 9 mm to 10.5 × 10.5 mm — a narrow, almost uniform graduation that gives the strand a dense, ribbon-like quality, the warm sun-drenched vibrancy of the Orange colouration glowing with a consistent, luminous warmth from the first bead to the last. At 540 mm long and 80.5 grams, it has a confident, wearable weight that sits beautifully at the collarbone.
The sterling silver clasp is a clean, precise finish that complements the natural warmth of the coral, and the necklace is in great condition with no chips or cracks — exceptional for a 19th century piece. Each bead has been individually handcarved, its surface polished to reveal the natural luminosity that only genuine, undyed Orange coral can produce. 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 sterling silver clasp — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
