In his story The Leviathan, Joseph Roth describes the use of coral as talismans with a special protective function. For centuries, Mediterranean coral was believed to enhance the beauty of its wearer while also offering protection against the “evil eye.” They were thus both adornments and guardians from the depths of the sea, which we still encounter today and whose appeal is irresistible. Even now, the sight of genuine Mediterranean coral is captivating – as in the present necklace from around 1900, which features three rows of exquisite, salmon-coloured coral, cut into pearls and arranged in graduated sequence. Necklaces like this appear on many old photographs from the turn of the century; often they were purchased in Italy in the late 19th century as precious souvenirs and brought home. Our necklace is fitted with a charming clasp, which features an additional coral bead as a bouton. The coral is of carefully selected colour with a lively play of tones. We have had the necklace restrung so that it can be worn with complete ease. A piece of jewellery and a talisman in one!

The stocks of some coral species, which are now under strict conservation, 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.
