Precious corals come in a variety of colours. The spectrum ranges from white to a delicate pink, to the much sought-after salmon colour in light and dark shades, to the strong and dark red, which is also known as oxblood. Each type of coral has its very own play of colours and this is how the different types of coral can be distinguished. This necklace from around 1900 shows a light salmon colour. It is natural precious coral from the Mediterranean, so-called Sciacca coral. This was harvested south of Sicily in the late 19th century and was mainly used to make necklaces from coral beads. The corals used here are of very good quality. They show only a few growth characteristics that identify them as a natural product. Two rows of hand-cut beads are arranged in a gradient and become thicker towards the centre. A coral-studded, original clasp made from gold-plated tombac completes this beautiful necklace.
