No two corals are the same. Some shine in a deep red, others in a heavenly rose-white, so that they are traditionally referred to as ‘angel skin’. Still others show an individual marbled play of colours, combining intense red tones and shimmering pink sections. This coral necklace consists of pearls that shimmer in this varied, individual and yet natural way. Waves and layers in the most varied shades from red to rosé present a beautiful, varied, warm play of colours that has captured the summer. The necklace is made up of 53 coral beads that have been cut and polished by hand; the largest bead in the centre measures an impressive 1.7 cm in diameter. The corals are so-called Momo corals that live in the waters off Japan and Taiwan. In Italy, they are also known as corallo cerasuolo. This type of coral has been fished since the late 19th century and is also processed in Italy. It occurs in delicate salmon colours as well as in a stronger shade of red, as seen here. These corals were probably also processed in Italy. The simple yellow gold clasp was made in Germany. We assume that the necklace and clasp were created in the 1980s. The shiny, polished necklace with its particularly large coral spheres is a precious piece. An independent appraisal has confirmed the quality of the coral and is included in the delivery.
