The coral has been considered a good luck charm since ancient times. From the 17th century, for example, is handed down from Venice, the coral "Portati dovunque l'huomo sia, ò in casa, ò in nave, scaccia le cattive ombre de gli spiriti, sogni, fulmini, venti, e tempeste e gli diffende da ogni assalto di fiere." - "Wherever man goes, whether he is at home or traveling by ship - the coral drives away the evil shadows of the spirits, bad dreams, lightning, winds and thunderstorms, and protects from every adversity." (Isabella Palumbo Fossati Casa: Intérieurs vénitiens à la Renaissance. Maisons, société et culture, Paris 2012, p. 276). In Naples, people still use amulets made of coral to protect themselves against misfortune. Three rows of bright red coral are combined here to ward off evil. The small beads are knotted and are held by a gold clasp of the company J. Köhle. The manufactory of J. Köhle found its origin in Pforzheim in 1872 and produces wonderful clasps until today. Thus, our necklace can be dated around 1965. We have had the necklace restrung un dknotted so that it can become an auspicious companion!
