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 Naples, people still use amulets made of coral to protect themselves against misfortune. This necklace in three strands was made in Italy in the years around 1900 and presents its salmon red, quality corals graduated by size. A handsome original rolled gold clasp on tombac holds the necklace securely. It holds three coral boutons. A safety chain allows for carefree wear. Do you want to wear the happiness and lightheartedness of summer around your neck?
