For centuries, coral jewellery was not only a decorative treasure, but also associated with numerous legends. Mined from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, this material always carried mysterious associations. It is said that coral originated from the blood of Medusa when Perseus cut off her head on the seashore: Her blood dripped onto seaweed and turned it into a red coral tree - just as her gaze had previously turned people into stone. In the present necklace we see particularly beautiful red corals arranged in two rows. They are beads from around 1900, which tells us the cut shape by hand. The strands are arranged in graduated, that is, they become thicker towards the center. The necklace, which we had rewound, is held by a clasp made of gold-plated silver, it is probably a modern addition. A magnificent piece of jewelry with bold color!
