If corals could speak, they would probably speak Italian. Because the vast majority of corals that we find in antique jewelry come from the Bay of Naples. There, in the small town of Torre del Greco, the center of coral processing for the entire Mediterranean region has been established since the beginning of the 19th century. In the process, the coral carvers responded to the most diverse fashions, because these changed rapidly even around the 19th century. In the years around 1900, the beautiful salmon corals in this necklace were hand cut and carefully matched. The beds are graduated in size and only small traces of growth distinguish them as a natural material. At first glance, the beds appear uniform in color, but upon closer inspection, small shades of color can be distinguished and you get a slight glimpse of the colour spectrum of the coral. The necklace is made wearable by an unobtrusive clasp made of gold-plated silver, which has been added to the necklace in recent times. The necklace has been restrung by us and is ready to nestle around a neck again even after more than a century.
