Antique Italian Salmon Coral Bracelet in Four Rows, circa 1900

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

The bracelet here consists of four strands of antique Italian coral. The beads are cut by hand, not always full round, but of selected beautiful color. The processing by hand and the original clasp with three beautiful corals guarantee at the same time the origin of the jewellery around the turn of the last century. 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 seas in large numbers and delighted Italian travelers with their unusual color. We have had the corals restrung. We discovered the bracelet here in Berlin.

Genuine Italian Mediterranean corals inspire to this day by their wonderfully rich play of colors with pronounced richness of variations. The colors range from creamy white of the Adriatic coral to the delicate pink of the angel skin coral or "Pelle d'Angelo". Other beautiful colors brought forth by the sea include light and dark salmon red hues to the vibrant dark red color also known as oxblood. For centuries an integral part of princely and later 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 coral, 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 therefore limited and finite.
