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 travellers with their unusual colour. The bracelet here consists of six strands of antique Italian coral that 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 guarantees at the same time the origin of the coral pearls in the years around 1900. We have had the corals re-strung and a box clasp of gold-plated silver added. The result is a new bracelet using corals that are over 100 years old, reminiscent of sunny days in the south. The corals can be worn twisted as a so-called torsade, or loosely laid next to each other.

Genuine Italian Mediterranean corals still inspire today with their wonderfully rich play of colours with a pronounced wealth of variations. From the creamy white of the Adriatic coral to the delicate pink of the angel's skin coral or Pelle d'Angelo to beautiful light and dark salmon red shades to the strong dark red colour known as oxblood or Moro coral, this wonderful natural material is characterized by the most beautiful colours of nature 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 unprecedented popularity, particularly 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 jewellery a sought-after treasure today more than ever. Only antique pieces or corals from old stock come onto the market today - the quantity is therefore limited and finite.
