AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This extraordinary necklace of Red Coral from Alghero, originating from the beautiful island of Sardinia, is a true work of art of nature. The Corallium Rubrum, the precious material used to create this jewelry, is renowned worldwide for its beauty and rarity.
The necklace is composed of no less than 60 coral stones, arranged in a captivating graduated pattern. The central piece, with the coral measuring approximately 23 millimeters, is a true gem of extraordinary size. The total length of the necklace, when fully extended, is 67 centimeters, and it features an elegant silver lobster clasp that adds a touch of practicality.
The quality of this jewelry piece features an intense red color that stands out with elegance and brightness. Alghero Coral is among the most sought after on the market, thanks to its rarity and its splendid shade of red.
Corallium Rubrum species is an endemic species of the Mediterranean, requiring specific living conditions: constant water salinity, reduced water movement, and subdued lighting. If the suspended sediment rate in the water is too high, it limits its survival.
