A fine necklace made of bright red coral carries a small pendant. Below an old-cut diamond set in a carée of gold with an overlay of silver, there is a carving of coral on a loop of gold. A small sculptural cameo of salmon red Mediterranean coral is held in a plain frame of silver. The cameo depicts a young woman with her hair slightly pinned back. Turned slightly to the left, her gaze appears dreamy. She is dressed in an antique robe that is draped over her shoulders. Slight traces of growth of the coral give the cut depth and the folds of the robe are underlined by the growth lines. The Grand Tour took young cavaliers in the 18th and 19th centuries to the south, to Italy with its art treasures from antiquity to modern times. This was the quintessence of bourgeois and noble education. From this period comes the beautiful cammee. It is, after all, a work that was almost certainly created in the Bay of Naples. Because, of course, souvenirs from this stay had to be brought home. The coral necklace with the simple silver clasp dates from around 1960, the diamond in its setting with millegrain originates from the years around 1915, the cameo, on the other hand, was cut in about the years around 1850. Over generations, a small necklace was put together that is still wearable today!
