AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This extraordinary necklace is made from pieces of Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum) selected for their irregular shape, natural surface, and extraordinary color intensity. The gemstones vary in size and volume, deliberately left in a semi-rough form and hand-polished to highlight each irregularity, as a mark of authenticity.
The center of the necklace is dominated by large coral pearls, which create a significant visual impact and a bold character. The pearls gradually decrease in size towards the ends, creating a natural balance that follows the shape of the neck. The porous surfaces of some pearls, combined with the more compact and shiny ones, tell the true story of untreated coral, without dyes or artificial reconstructions.
Corallo Rosso: the treasure of the Mediterranean
Used since ancient times by cultures such as the Phoenicians and Romans, red coral has always been associated with protection, power, and beauty. In Mediterranean tradition, it was believed to protect against negativity and attract prosperity. Even today, it is crafted with respect in artisan workshops in Sardinia, Sicily, and especially in Torre del Greco, where ancient techniques have been passed down for centuries.
