The faceted cut is what makes this 19th century Orange coral necklace truly exceptional — rather than the smooth, rounded surface of a standard handcarved bead, each bead here has been cut with flat facets that catch and reflect the light in a way that transforms the warm Orange colouration into something almost gem-like. The effect is striking: as the necklace moves, the facets create a subtle, shifting brilliance that no round bead can replicate. Graduating from 4mm to 6.5mm and weighing 37.1 grams, this is a refined and wearable piece, finished with a 9 karat gold clasp and in perfect condition with no chips or cracks. A rare technique on antique coral — and a rare find for any serious collector. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
