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 the years around 1900, the beautiful salmon corals in this necklace were hand-cut and carefully selected. The beads are strung in graduated order and only small traces of growth distinguish the preciousness as a natural material. The coral beads are uniform in color, a vibrant salmon red. The necklace is made wearable by an unobtrusive clasp made of silver, which has been added to the necklace in recent times. The necklace has been restrung by us and is in very good condition.
