A striking survivor from the late Victorian era, this exceptional coral necklace showcases a beautifully matched strand of substantial, natural coral beads, each measuring approximately 14mm in diameter and perfectly matched. The warm blush-to-apricot tones possess the soft, organic feel that only genuine antique coral pieces exhibit through age and wear.

Weighing an impressive 114.5 grams, this 32 bead necklace has a wonderful presence and luxurious feel in the hand. The beads are nicely uniform, reflecting the refined taste and craftsmanship of the period. The necklace measures approximately 52.5cms in length.

Adding a touch of later glamour is the sophisticated Art Deco-inspired sterling silver clasp, accented with sparkling diamante stones and stamped 925. The clasp provides a beautiful link between Victorian naturalism and the geometric elegance associated with early 20th-century design.
