This necklace is made of beautiful, dark red Mediterranean coral of exceptional quality. A total of 133 hand-cut beads of so-called moro or oxblood coral are arranged to form an impressive whole. This name stands for a particularly coveted color variety of the luxurious Mediterranean coral, whose deep, rich red has grown naturally and was not achieved by artificial coloring. It is precisely this warm, dense coloration that makes these corals so attractive. Corals of this quality are extremely rare to find today, as stocks in the Mediterranean have declined sharply and trade is strictly regulated. Older necklaces like this one are therefore not only aesthetically pleasing, but also real rarities. The finely cut spheres are worked in a classic graduated pattern and increase in size towards the center. The largest pearl has a diameter of around 10.0 mm and gives the necklace a beautiful presence without being obtrusive. With a length of 73.5 cm, the piece of jewellery fits softly and comfortably around the neck and is closed by a clasp with a gold double. This colorful necklace was created around 1960 in Italy, one of the traditional centers of coral processing. It embodies all the beauty and sensuality of this material and is an impressive example of Italian jewelry art of the time. A real treasure that impresses with its color, material and rarity.
