179.1 grams. That number alone tells you everything about what this 19th century Momo Orange coral necklace is — a collection piece of the highest order, built from beads so large and so generously proportioned that the necklace crosses from jewellery into sculpture. The beads range from 11.5 × 9.5 mm to a remarkable 20 × 17 mm, each one a substantial, glowing orb of warm Momo Orange coral, their combined weight and volume creating a piece that drapes across the neck with a commanding, almost ceremonial presence. At 710 mm long and finished with a 9 karat gold clasp, this is a necklace for the serious collector — one who understands that pieces of this scale, this age, and this colour simply do not come to market often. The minor chips present are entirely normal for coral beads of this exceptional size and age. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
