If corals could speak, they would probably speak Italian. Because the vast majority of corals that we find in antique jewelry 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. However, the necklace presented here is a true classic. It is beads from the years around 1900, cut from Italian salmon coral. The hand cut pearls are graduated, meaning they get thicker towards the center. They are not quite circular but somewhat flattened to the sides so that the necklace can fall nicely. We have restrung the necklace so that after over 120 years it can be worn in a very classic, or modern way.
