A superb quality natural red coral necklace with a solid 9ct yellow gold ball clasp. Hailing from the mid 20th century the necklace has fairly large sized beads in a superb peachy hue with pale pink marbling. It fastens with a gold ball clasp that matches the coral beads in size and gives a lovely uninterrupted flow to the design. The red coral is natural and undyed, it is opaque with a waxy sheen and dotted with smatterings of mollusc holes.
The coral beads have been strung onto white red silk necklace cord finished at the ends in gold French wire and the necklace lies beautifully.
