Experience a piece of history with this stunning antique coral necklace, a rare jewel from the beginning of the 20th century. This exquisite necklace is not only a piece of jewellery, but also a testimony to the natural wonders and historical events of Sicily.
Created around 1900, this unique coral necklace consists of three strands of the coveted "Corallo Sciacca", named after the Sicilian town of Sciacca. These beautiful corals were affected by volcanic activity in the 19th century, which killed off a significant amount of coral. Over the years, these corals have developed an incomparable salmon hue that sets them apart from all other corals.
The three strands of coral beads are arranged in a progression, making them thicker towards the centre and giving the necklace a delightful dimension and texture. They are held together by an original rolled gold clasp adorned with three coral buttons. This stunning design highlights the natural beauty of the coral and adds a touch of luxury to the necklace.
Due to strict conservation and the increasing demand for natural coral, this coral necklace is now a particularly valuable possession. Only antique pieces or old stock coral are still available on the market, making this necklace a limited and precious rarity.
Whether you are a collector of antique jewellery or simply want to appreciate the beauty and history of this unique piece, this coral necklace is a piece of jewellery that will be admired and treasured. Don't miss out on this rare piece of natural beauty and Sicilian history.
