This necklace was created in our workshop - but it was put together from antique elements. The large, drum-shaped corals originally came from a Krakow or Ukrainian costume necklace. Multi-strand necklaces made of Mediterranean coral are worn with these costumes, but the pearls reached us individually and in insufficient numbers to make a complete necklace in several rows. So we added small intermediate beads, also made of Mediterranean coral, to the hand-cut drums. A spherical silver clasp holds the resulting necklace securely in place. In Ukrainian costume, coral was considered a sign of wealth. The more strands a necklace had, the wealthier its wearer was considered to be - very similar to the silver choker necklaces of southern German costume. But it was also valued as a protective amulet and was believed to ward off evil. It was also believed that red coral marked its wearer as healthy and lively, while grayish coral indicated impending illness.
