Coral jewellery has a centuries-old tradition. Even the ancient Romans adorned themselves with elaborately carved pieces made from the deep red Mediterranean coral, which could be harvested in abundance 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. Coral processing experienced a real boom in the 19th century. The increasing number of travelers from all over Europe visited Naples, Capri and the Amalfi Coast, and coral jewellery was a popular souvenir. This bracelet consists of three strands of antique Italian coral, which came to us as part of a large old stock from a dealer in Italy. The pearls are hand-cut, not always fully round, but shiny, and display beautiful, varied colors, from lighter to darker salmon tones. Their handmade cut also indicates that they were created around 1900. We had the corals restrung and added an engraved box clasp and two gold-plated silver spacers. The result is a new bracelet using coral that is over 100 years old and is reminiscent of sunny days in the south.
