HAND-WOVEN MEDITERRANEAN RED CORAL BRACELET WITH GOLD-PLATED 925 STERLING SILVER CLASP

A distinctive artisan bracelet entirely woven and assembled by hand by Perna Laboratorio Orafo in Torre del Greco, Italy.

The bracelet is composed of numerous small polished spherical beads of Mediterranean red coral, measuring approximately 2.5–3 mm in diameter.

This is not a conventional bracelet formed from a simple sequence of threaded beads. Each coral sphere has been individually incorporated into a dense and interconnected structure using the traditional local technique known as “lavorazione tessita”.

This highly specialised and time-intensive method is deeply rooted in the coral-jewellery tradition of Torre del Greco. It requires precision, patience and continuous control of the weaving tension throughout the entire manufacturing process.

The result is a compact, flexible and three-dimensional bracelet with a richly textured surface, substantial visual presence and distinctive handcrafted character.

The bracelet is completed with polished terminal caps and an elegant openwork spherical clasp in gold-plated 925 sterling silver. The restrained warm-gold finish creates a refined contrast with the intense red colour of the Mediterranean coral.

The 925 fineness mark is clearly visible and documented in the detailed photographs.

This is a newly produced, non-serial artisan jewel created by Perna Laboratorio Orafo, an independent goldsmith’s workshop in Torre del Greco, Italy.

THE ART OF THE “LAVORAZIONE TESSITA”

The principal value and identity of this bracelet lie not only in its materials, but also in the extensive manual work required to construct it.

Every small coral sphere is individually incorporated into the weave, gradually creating a compact and continuous tubular structure. Correct execution requires considerable patience and precise control of tension, spacing and alignment.

Unlike a conventional single-strand or loose multi-strand bracelet, the beads are structurally interconnected. This woven arrangement creates volume, flexibility and a characteristic tactile quality while allowing the bracelet to adapt naturally to the wrist.

The visible thread is an integral structural component of the bracelet. It forms the supporting architecture of the weave and provides direct evidence of its genuinely handmade construction.

As the bracelet is woven entirely by hand, slight variations in tension, bead alignment, spacing and surface regularity may be visible. These characteristics are not manufacturing defects, but authentic evidence of manual craftsmanship that gives the jewel its individual identity.

MEDITERRANEAN CORAL

The polished beads display subtle variations in red tone, shape, surface appearance and lustre.

Coral is an organic material, and minor differences between individual beads are consistent with its natural character. These variations contribute depth, movement and visual richness to the completed bracelet.

No attempt has been made during assembly to artificially standardise the appearance of the individual spheres.

The material is described as Mediterranean coral according to the information available to the workshop and its supplier.

The coral has not been submitted to an independent gemological laboratory. Consequently, no additional declaration is made regarding its precise biological classification, exact harvesting location or the presence or absence of possible treatments.

GOLD-PLATED 925 STERLING SILVER DETAILS

The terminal caps, connecting elements and decorative spherical clasp are made of gold-plated 925 sterling silver.

The openwork clasp introduces a refined visual contrast with the compact texture and intense red colour of the coral weave.

The metallic surfaces retain their authentic finish and may display minute workshop marks or optical reflections visible only under strong macro magnification.

The 925 fineness mark is clearly documented in the photographs and forms an integral part of the description of the lot.

PRESENTATION

The bracelet will be supplied in an elegant gift box together with a workshop certificate recording the principal declared materials, measurements, weight and artisanal production details.

The workshop certificate is not an independent gemological laboratory report.

The bracelet shown in the photographs is the exact item that will be delivered to the successful bidder. No stock photographs or images of another example have been used.

SHIPPING

Free tracked shipping by professional courier.

The bracelet will be carefully inspected before dispatch and professionally protected inside secure packaging suitable for jewellery transport.

Tracking information will be provided as soon as the parcel has been entrusted to the courier. The buyer is kindly requested to monitor the shipment and ensure that the parcel can be received or collected within the time limits established by the courier.

For destinations outside the European Union, customs duties, import taxes, brokerage charges and any local administrative costs are the sole responsibility of the buyer and are not included in the purchase price.

As coral is an organic material, import or export restrictions may apply in certain countries. Prospective buyers are responsible for checking the regulations applicable in their destination country before bidding. Shipment will only be made where legally permitted and subject to any documentation required by the competent authorities.

Delivery times may vary depending on the destination, customs procedures, local holidays or circumstances beyond the seller’s direct control.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The dimensions and weight were measured manually using professional workshop instruments and should therefore be considered approximate.

The stated length of approximately 19 cm includes the clasp and terminal components.

The stated bead diameter of approximately 2.5–3 mm reflects the normal dimensional variation among the individual coral spheres.

The stated total weight of approximately 10.50 g includes the complete bracelet, coral beads, clasp, terminals, thread and all structural components.

Close-up and macro photography has been used to document the construction, condition, fineness mark and handcrafted details as accurately as possible.

Macro photography considerably enlarges the appearance of the beads, thread, metal surfaces and minor artisanal irregularities. These details may therefore appear more pronounced in the photographs than when the bracelet is viewed normally or worn.

Colour perception may vary slightly according to lighting conditions, photographic equipment, screen calibration and individual display settings.

The photographs form an essential and integral part of the description. Prospective buyers are invited to examine all images carefully before bidding.

Any minor variations in colour, roundness, polish, bead alignment, spacing or weaving tension are consistent with the organic nature of the coral and the entirely handcrafted construction of the bracelet.

An individual Italian workshop creation combining the rich red character of Mediterranean coral, the warm luminosity of gold-plated 925 sterling silver and the elaborate “lavorazione tessita” traditionally associated with Torre del Greco.
