Description from the seller

Mediterranean Red Coral Necklace – Natural Rough Coral Fragments – 110 g

Striking necklace composed of natural rough fragments of Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum), showcasing the vivid organic beauty that has made this material prized for centuries. The coral pieces retain their natural shapes, textures, and growth structures, creating a bold and highly distinctive appearance.

The necklace consists of irregular untreated coral fragments displaying rich shades of deep red, vermilion, and occasional pale natural sections. Surface cavities, marine encrustations, and natural weathering marks testify to the coral’s authentic origin and contribute to its unique character.

The fragments are strung on a simple red cord, emphasizing the raw and organic aesthetic of the piece rather than a refined jewelry finish. The result is a necklace with strong visual impact, equally suitable for collectors of natural materials, ethnographic jewelry enthusiasts, or decorative display.

Originating from the Mediterranean Sea, the coral displays the characteristic color and structure associated with this renowned species.
