Elegant handcrafted necklace produced in Italy by Perna Laboratorio Orafo, an artisanal goldsmith workshop based in Torre del Greco (Naples), internationally renowned as one of the historic centres for high-quality coral craftsmanship and traditional Italian jewellery. The necklace is composed of authentic natural red Isididae coral of Pacific origin, carefully selected for the quality of the raw material, structural compactness and consistent chromatic uniformity. The coral beads measure approximately 2.5–3.0 mm in diameter and have been meticulously hand-assembled to create a harmonious, continuous and visually balanced composition with a refined and luminous appearance. The vibrant natural red colour, traditionally among the most appreciated tones in Mediterranean coral jewellery, combined with the fine workmanship of the strand, gives the necklace a distinctive yet elegant presence. The substantial coral weight provides a rich, well-balanced drape when worn, enhancing both comfort and visual impact. The clasp and connecting elements are crafted in 18 kt yellow gold, entirely handmade in the workshop. The 750/1000 hallmark is present on the clasp (not visible in the photographs). The gold has been professionally tested, confirming authenticity and declared fineness. The necklace measures approximately 44 cm in length (from clasp to clasp), offering a comfortable and elegant fit. Length adjustments may be evaluated upon request; any modification costs are at the buyer’s expense and can be arranged via the Catawiki chat. A piece conceived for collectors and enthusiasts of authentic Italian coral craftsmanship.
