AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique Mediterranean coral necklace with a 585 gold clasp – presumably around 1920/1930
For sale is a historical coral necklace made of Mediterranean coral with a decorative 585 gold clasp (14 carat), presumably from around 1920/1930.
The chain consists of numerous individually crafted, rounded to slightly flattened coral beads/rondelles in a characteristic salmon to coral red. The individual coral elements show natural differences in size, shape, color intensity, and surface texture. This creates the lively and unique overall impression typical of natural coral.
The corals are carefully polished and have a beautiful, softly glossy surface. The individual elements are assembled into a harmonious, long chain.
Particularly noteworthy is the elaborately designed gold clasp, which is inlaid with a coral piece. On the back, the 585 hallmark is clearly visible, corresponding to 14 karat gold.
