Whether carved into elaborate flowers, classically cut into round boutons or strung as pearls in multi-row necklaces - antique jewellery made from Italian coral is always a joy to wear. The shine and the fresh, salmon-red color enchant the senses, while thoughts wander to the warm south: to the picturesque backdrop of the Gulf of Naples, to carefree hours on the beach or to the enjoyment of a large strawberry gelato. Coral jewellery has a centuries-old tradition. Even the ancient Romans adorned themselves with elaborately carved pieces of the deep red Mediterranean coral, which was already being harvested in large quantities off the coast of Naples. No wonder that it was here, in the bay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, that a specialized artisan tradition developed, whose masters still transform this treasure of the sea into artistic creations today. This antique pair of stud earrings from around 1900 features two large coral boutons in settings of reddish gold with a fineness of 18 carat. The corals have a powerful salmon hue. The gold work on this pair is so restrained that, when worn on the ear, only the glowing corals are visible - with an impressive diameter of around 13 millimetres! This exquisite pair of corals from around 1900 found its way to us from a beautiful collection of antique jewellery here in Berlin.
