Japanese Pink Coral | Handwoven Tessito Knot Bracelet | 925 Sterling Silver Perna Laboratorio Orafo – Handcrafted in Torre del Greco, Italy Description An elegant bracelet entirely handcrafted by Perna Laboratorio Orafo in Torre del Greco, Italy, a town internationally renowned for its centuries-old tradition of coral craftsmanship. The bracelet features numerous small, polished Japanese pink coral beads, measuring approximately 4–4.5 mm in diameter, carefully selected and intricately interwoven by hand using the traditional artisanal technique known as "tessito." Its distinctive central woven knot creates an elegant sculptural detail, adding volume and character to the design while contributing to its comfortable, flexible structure. The delicate salmon-pink shades, harmonious arrangement of the beads and elaborate three-dimensional construction make this bracelet a refined expression of traditional Italian craftsmanship. Traditional Tessito Craftsmanship The "tessito" technique is a particularly intricate form of artisanal coral bead weaving associated with the historic coral-working tradition of Torre del Greco. Each individual coral bead is carefully selected, arranged and interwoven by hand, traditionally using multiple needles and threads to create a compact, flexible and three-dimensional structure. This meticulous process requires many hours of skilled manual work, considerable patience, precision and careful attention to symmetry, thread tension and finishing. Unlike ordinary strung coral bracelets, the tessito technique produces an elaborate woven construction that reflects the specialist expertise and craftsmanship involved in its creation.
