Antique Bangle With Italian Coral Buttons & Natural Pearls, Around 1880

Description

Salmon coloured coral is still one of the most beautiful vacation souvenirs from Italy. Especially in the 19th century, the precious gift of the sea was made into jewellery in Sicily and Sardinia, but also in the Bay of Naples, which then reminded of happily spent days under the radiant sun, even if the travellers had long since returned to colder climes. The antique bangle presented here presents no less than two treasures from the bottom of the sea: created in the 1880s, the piece features fine salmon coral from the Mediterranean in combination with small natural pearls. The corals used here are formed into particularly beautiful boutons on the front of the bracelet, which are arranged in the center to form a flower motif. All around, the colourful sea treasures are set as drilled beads on a delicate, two-part hoop of so-called rolled gold, on which they inspire with their incomparably warm play of colour. Wonderfully preserved, the corals, which have become so rare, now spread a breath of summer on the wrist - even on dull days!

Genuine Italian Mediterranean corals inspire to this day by their wonderfully rich play of colors with pronounced richness of variation. From the creamy white of the Adriatic coral to the delicate pink of the angel skin coral or Pelle d'Angelo, light and dark salmon red hues to the strong dark red colour known as oxblood or Moro coral, the natural material is characterized by the most beautiful colours that the sea can produce. For centuries an integral part of princely and later also bourgeois art chambers, coral jewellery, especially from the region around the Bay of Naples, enjoyed popularity never experienced before, especially in the 19th century. The stocks of some coral species, which are now under strict protection, as well as the demand for natural corals, which has increased by leaps and bounds 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 thus limited and finite.
