Genuine corals inspire to this day by their wonderfully rich play of colours with pronounced richness of variation. From the creamy white of the Adriatic coral to the delicate pink of the angel skin coral, also called Pelle d'Angelo, as well as beautiful light and dark salmon red hues to the strong dark red coluor of the oxblood or Moro coral, this wonderful natural material is characterized by the most beautiful colours of nature that the sea can produce. The present necklace of angel skin coral delights with its wonderful shades of delicate pink. At the sight of it, it becomes clear how appropriately the name of this coral is chosen, as it simply radiates rosy like the cheeks of an angel. The necklace presents the polished coral in unusual little branches, which were strung twisted in graduated. The piece of jewellery, which was created in the years around 1980, is very well preserved and extremely decorative. Almost like small candies, the corals look and are ready to be tastefully presented.

The coral has been considered a good luck charm since ancient times. From the 17th century, for example, is passed down from Venice, the coral "Portati dovunque l'huomo sia, ò in casa, ò in nave, scaccia le cattive ombre de gli spiriti, sogni, fulmini, venti, e tempeste e gli diffende da ogni assalto di fiere." - "Wherever man goes, whether he is at home or traveling by ship - the coral drives away the evil shadows of the spirits, bad dreams, lightning, winds, and tempests, and protects against every adversity." (Isabella Palumbo Fossati Casa: Intérieurs vénitiens à la Renaissance. Maisons, société et culture, Paris 2012, p. 276). In Naples, people still use amulets made of coral to protect themselves against misfortune.
