Carved Coral Bead Necklace with 18ct Gold Clasp | Italian c.1880
Carved Coral Bead Necklace with 18ct Gold Clasp | Italian c.1880
POA
Description
A striking antique necklace composed of intricately hand-carved natural coral beads, each featuring a distinctive hobnail texture that reflects the artistry of late 19th-century Italian craftsmanship.
Likely carved in Naples around the 1880s, these richly coloured coral beads display a vibrant and warm orange hue with subtle natural variation.
The textured surface is not a natural feature but a deliberate decorative carving, a traditional technique designed to catch the light and elevate the coral’s organic beauty.
Finished with an 18ct gold barrel clasp, this necklace measures 38cm in length and still wears beautifully against the skin nearly 150 years on.
