If corals could speak, they would probably speak Italian. This is because the vast majority of corals that we find in antique jewellery were cut in the Bay of Naples. There, in the small town of Torre del Greco, the centre of coral processing for the entire Mediterranean region has been established since around 1805. In doing so, the coral carvers reacted to the most diverse fashions, as these also changed rapidly in the 19th century. However, this necklace is a true classic. It is made of pearls from around 1900, cut from salmon-coloured coral. The hand-cut pearls are arranged in a gradient, i.e. they become thicker towards the centre. They are not completely circular but slightly flattened towards the sides so that the necklace can fall beautifully. The individual beads show natural signs of growth and characteristics that identify them as a small miracle of nature. We have restrung the necklace so that after over 120 years it can be worn in a very classic, or modern way.
