Description

Coral jewellery for centuries was not only decorative preciousness, but also associated with numerous legends. Mined from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, this material carried mysterious associations. Thus, the origin of coral was said to have been created 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 salmon-coloured corals arranged in two rows. They are beads from around 1900, which their cut by hand tells us. The strands are arranged in the way, so that they become thicker towards the center. The jewellery, which we have had re-polished and re-strung, is held by its original clasp made of gold-plated tombac, decorated with two more corals. A magnificent piece of jewellery with beautiful luster and fine salmon colour!
