About the Item

This beautiful 19th-century necklace is composed of six strands of natural red coral (Corallium Rubrum), featuring barrel-shaped beads strung on red thread. The coral is of fine quality, displaying a rich and vibrant hue, characteristic of this prized Mediterranean variety. The necklace is completed with a substantial clasp in 18 karat yellow gold, masterfully crafted in intricate filigree and cannetille work. The clasp is further enhanced with a delicate floral engraving on its closure, highlighting the exceptional attention to detail and artistry typical of Dutch goldsmithing of the period. Coral jewelry has played an important role in Dutch cultural heritage since the 16th century, becoming a defining element of traditional costume in regions of the Netherlands and remaining popular well into the 20th century. Necklaces such as this were especially favored in the northern provinces, where coral was worn as both ornament and a symbol of status and prosperity. This necklace is of high quality and excellent condition, a superb example of regional Dutch jewelry with both cultural and historical significance.
