This magnificent antique coral necklace, made at the turn of the century around 1900, is a true piece of jewellery from the rich tradition of southern Italy. With around 90 intense red Sardegna Mediterranean coral beads, varying in size between 5 and 6 mm, it tells the story of protection and good fortune that has been attributed to coral for centuries. The artfully designed jewellery clasp, decorated with a large coral, underlines the exquisite craftsmanship of that era.
The bright red coral beads, grown deep in the Mediterranean, reflect not only the natural beauty but also the heritage and culture of a region renowned for its fine jewellery. In ancient writings of the 17th and 18th centuries, coral was considered a powerful defence against the forces of nature, whether on land or at sea. It was not only an ornament, but also a talisman that gave hope and security.
This necklace, a unique piece from around 1900, carries this centuries-old charm - a piece of jewellery that not only touches the senses, but also the heart. With its fascinating combination of craftsmanship, history and natural beauty, it is a true heirloom that will stand the test of time.
