If corals could speak, they would probably speak Italian. Because the vast majority of corals that we find in antique jewellery come from the Bay of Naples. There, in the small town of Torre del Greco, the center of coral processing for the entire Mediterranean region has been established since about 1805. In the process, the coral carvers raged on the most diverse fashions, because these changed quickly even around the 19th century. The beautiful beads of the coral necklace were cut by hand, graduated, increasing in size towards the center. The necklace appears uniformly in a beautiful coral red. A simple carabiner made of silver, lets the necklace become wearable and restrains itself completely. The clasp is a modern addition and bears an Italian manufacturer's mark from Vicenza. We have had the chain restrung, so that the necklace, even today, can be worn carefree!

Genuine Italian Mediterranean corals inspire to this day by their wonderfully rich play of colours with a pronounced wealth of variants. From the creamy white of the Adriatic coral to the delicate pink of the angel skin coral or Pelle d'Angelo to beautiful light and dark salmon red hues to the strong dark red colour known as oxblood, this wonderful natural material is characterized by the most beautiful colours of nature that the sea can produce. For centuries an integral part of princely and later also bourgeois art chambers, coral jewellery, especially from the region around the Bay of Naples, enjoyed popularity never experienced before, especially in the 19th century. The stocks of some coral species, which are now under strict protection, as well as the demand for natural corals, which has increased dramatically in recent years, make coral jewellery today more than ever a sought-after treasure. Only antique pieces or corals from old stock come onto the market today - the quantity is therefore limited and finite.
