Description

For centuries, coral jewellery was not only an ornamental treasure, but was also associated with numerous legends. Mined from the depths of the Mediterranean, this material carried with it mysterious associations. It was said that coral originated from the blood of Medusa when Perseus cut off her head on the seashore: Her blood dripped onto seaweed and turned it into a red coral tree - just as her gaze had previously turned people into stone. In this necklace, we see particularly beautiful red corals from the Mediterranean Sea arranged in two rows. These are pearls from around 1900, as their hand-cut shape tells us. The strands are arranged in a gradient, i.e. they become thicker towards the centre. We had the necklace restrung and added the gold-plated silver clasp. A magnificent piece of jewellery with a vibrant colour!
