This antique coral fringed necklace is formed of a finely woven gold chain set, and features tiny gold flower motifs and bouton shaped pieces of polished precious coral.
Hinged knife-edged gold bars are also used to add depth and interest to the piece. This beautiful necklace is reminiscent of the very finest coral jewellery made in Italy and highly sought after during the 19th century. Italian coral has a long history and was considered of the highest quality with goldsmiths often using this beautiful organic material in their jewels.
