All auctions / Jewellery & Gems / Antique, Three-Row Necklace Made of Italian Salmon Coral, c. 1900
In his story "The Leviathan", Joseph Roth describes the use of corals as talismans with a special protective function. In previous centuries, Mediterranean corals were supposed to help their wearers achieve greater beauty and at the same time protect them from the "evil eye". They were therefore lucky charms and at the same time protectors from the sea, which we encounter from time to time today and whose charm we cannot escape. Even today, the sight of genuine Mediterranean coral still inspires us - as is the case with this necklace from around 1900, which presents three rows of wonderful salmon coral cut into beads and arranged in a row. Necklaces like this one can be found in many old photographs from the turn of the century, often bought in Italy in the late 19th century as precious souvenirs to bring back home. Our necklace has a pretty clasp that presents three more corals as boutons. These are corals of selected beautiful colour. We have had the necklace re-strung so that the can be worn carefree. A piece of jewellery and talisman in one!
