HAND-WOVEN MEDITERRANEAN CORAL NECKLACE WITH 925 STERLING SILVER DETAILS

An elegant and distinctive handcrafted necklace created by Perna Laboratorio Orafo in Torre del Greco, Italy, combining the intense character of Mediterranean coral with refined decorative elements in 925 sterling silver.

The necklace is composed of numerous small polished coral beads, each measuring approximately 3 mm in diameter, individually incorporated into an intricate hand-woven tubular structure.

This is not a conventional necklace made from a simple sequence of threaded beads.

Each coral sphere has been carefully integrated into the weave, gradually forming a compact, flexible and three-dimensional jewel. The construction is inspired by traditional textile workmanship and requires precision, patience and careful control of tension throughout the entire necklace.

The result is a refined and harmonious tubular structure with a rich visual texture, excellent flexibility and an elegant presence when worn.

Along the woven coral body, decorative groups of small 925 sterling silver beads have been positioned at carefully balanced intervals. The individual silver beads have approximately the same diameter as the coral elements, creating a coherent visual rhythm while adding points of light and contrast throughout the necklace.

The jewel is completed by sculpted terminal caps and an elegant openwork spherical clasp in 925 sterling silver. The finely pierced design of the clasp echoes the handcrafted nature of the necklace and adds a sophisticated finishing detail.

The 925 hallmark is clearly visible in the detailed photographs.

Entirely woven, assembled and finished by hand by Perna Laboratorio Orafo, this necklace is an independent Italian workshop creation and not a standard mass-produced item.

THE ART OF THE WOVEN CONSTRUCTION

The distinctive value of this necklace lies not only in the materials used but also in the extensive manual work required for its construction.

Unlike a traditional single-strand or multi-strand necklace, the coral beads are not simply arranged in parallel rows. They are structurally interconnected through a precise weaving process that transforms hundreds of individual elements into a continuous, flexible and compact tubular jewel.

Each bead is incorporated into the weave one by one. The artisan must maintain consistent tension throughout the entire construction to achieve the correct balance between flexibility, volume and structural stability.

This technique creates a richly textured surface with a sculptural appearance while allowing the necklace to rest naturally around the neckline.

The visible weaving thread is an essential structural component of the necklace and not merely a decorative element. It forms the internal architecture that holds the individual coral and silver beads together.

Because the piece is entirely handmade, slight variations in weaving tension, bead alignment, spacing and surface regularity may be present. These characteristics are not manufacturing defects but authentic evidence of manual craftsmanship and make the necklace individually unique.

MEDITERRANEAN CORAL

The necklace displays the characteristic warm red colour associated with Mediterranean coral.

The individual beads may show slight differences in colour intensity, tone, roundness, surface texture and appearance. These variations are consistent with the organic nature of coral and contribute to the character and authenticity of the finished jewel.

Small pores, marks, tonal differences or irregularities that may become visible under strong macro magnification should not be considered defects. They are characteristic of an organic material worked into very small beads.

No attempt has been made to digitally or physically standardise the appearance of the individual coral elements. The necklace therefore retains a lively and naturally varied surface.

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

The coral has not been submitted to an independent gemological laboratory. Consequently, no additional declaration is made regarding its precise zoological classification, geographical harvesting location or the presence or absence of treatments beyond the information provided in this description.

925 STERLING SILVER DETAILS

The small decorative silver beads, sculpted terminals and openwork spherical clasp create a refined contrast with the red coral.

The silver beads are grouped into carefully positioned decorative stations that interrupt the woven coral structure with discreet points of light without disturbing its continuity.

The openwork clasp features a detailed pierced surface and forms an integral decorative part of the jewel rather than functioning only as a fastening element.

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

Metal surfaces may display extremely small polishing traces, reflections or workshop marks visible only under strong photographic magnification. These are compatible with the handcrafted production and finishing of the jewel.

ARTISANAL PRODUCTION

This necklace was created by Perna Laboratorio Orafo, an independent jewellery workshop based in Torre del Greco, Italy.

The jewel was produced through a predominantly manual process involving the selection of the components, preparation of the woven structure, insertion of the coral and silver beads, adjustment of the tension, assembly of the terminals, application of the clasp and final inspection.

The necklace is not a standard industrial or serially manufactured product.

Its construction, surface character and small handmade variations reflect the individual work involved in its creation.

PRESENTATION

The necklace will be supplied in an elegant jewellery box together with a workshop certificate reporting the principal information relating to the materials, measurements, weight and handcrafted production of the jewel.

The item shown in the photographs is the exact necklace that will be delivered to the successful bidder.

No stock photographs or images of a different example have been used.

SHIPPING

Free tracked shipping by professional courier.

The necklace 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 tracking information and ensure that someone is available to receive the parcel or arrange collection within the time limits established by the courier.

For shipments outside the European Union, any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage charges or 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. Buyers residing outside the European Union are responsible for checking the regulations applicable in their country before placing a bid.

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

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The measurements and weight have been taken manually using workshop instruments and should therefore be considered approximate.

The stated length of approximately 48 cm includes the clasp and terminal components.

The stated coral bead diameter of approximately 3 mm refers to the average dimensions of the individual beads. Minor variations may be present due to the small size and organic character of the material.

The individual 925 sterling silver beads are also approximately 3 mm in diameter and are grouped into decorative elements positioned along the necklace.

The stated total weight of approximately 28 g includes the complete necklace, coral, silver components, weaving thread, terminals and clasp.

The photographs were taken using close-up and macro photography to document the colour, construction, hallmark, clasp and handcrafted details as accurately as possible.

Macro photography considerably enlarges the appearance of the coral beads, silver elements, thread, metal surfaces and minor handmade irregularities. These details may therefore appear more pronounced in the photographs than they are when the necklace is viewed normally or worn.

Colour perception may vary slightly depending on 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 placing a bid.

Any slight variations in colour, roundness, surface texture, bead alignment, spacing or weaving tension are consistent with the organic material and the entirely handcrafted construction of the necklace.

A refined Italian workshop creation that combines the vivid character of Mediterranean coral, the luminosity of 925 sterling silver and an elaborate woven construction, transforming hundreds of small beads into an elegant, flexible and sculptural jewel.
