Antique Natural Undyed 2 Strand Mediterranean Red Coral Necklace
19th Century — Handcarved Coral Beads with Gold 9 Karat Clasp
Two strands of 19th century Mediterranean Red coral — each graduating from a delicate 5.5mm at the tips to a generous 7.5mm at the centre — come together in a necklace of quiet, layered elegance. The double strand construction, with its two parallel cascades of deep, saturated crimson, gives this piece a richness and depth that a single strand simply cannot achieve. At 53.8 grams, it carries a satisfying, substantial weight that speaks to the quality and density of genuine, undyed Mediterranean coral.
The minor worm holes scattered throughout are the unmistakable hallmarks of a true antique — organic, honest, and irreproducible — and only add to the authenticity and character of this extraordinary piece. The 9 karat gold clasp adds a warm, regal finish that complements the richness of the coral beautifully. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A rare 19th century 2-strand Mediterranean Red coral necklace with gold clasp — a collector's piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
