Hand-cut corals from the Mediterranean have always been the pride of southern Italian jewellery makers - and they are now rare jewels from a time when corals still populated the seabed in great numbers and delighted Italian travelers with their unusual colour. The bracelet here consists of six strands of antique Italian coral, which came to us as part of a large old stock from a dealer in Italy. The beads are hand cut, not always full round, but of selectively beautiful colour, ranging from lighter to darker shades of salmon. Their cut by hand at the same time guarantees the origin of the coral beads in the years around 1900. We have had the corals re-strung and added a box clasp of gold-plated silver. This creates a new bracelet using coral that is over 100 years old, reminiscent of sunny days in the south. The corals can be worn twisted as a so-called torsade, or loosely placed next to each other.

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 to beautiful light and dark salmon red hues to the strong dark red color known as oxblood or Moro coral, this wonderful natural material is characterized by the most beautiful colors of nature that the sea can produce. For centuries an integral part of princely and later also bourgeois art chambers, coral jewelry, 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 dramatically in recent years, make coral jewelry 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.
