The coral is carved as a perfectly polished orb with a rich, warm red tone typical of fine Mediterranean coral. Spheres of this size are increasingly uncommon and highly sought after for their bold presence and natural beauty.
The gemstone is crowned with an elegant hand-crafted gold cap composed of engraved leaves and delicate scrolling elements, creating a sculptural botanical motif. The warm tone of the 18K rose gold complements the vivid coral beautifully while adding texture and dimension to the design.
Suspended from a refined 20-inch gold chain, the pendant sits gracefully at the neckline, allowing the vibrant coral sphere to remain the focal point of the piece. The combination of organic goldwork and the dramatic coral orb reflects the distinctive character of mid-century Italian jewelry design.
This necklace offers a striking yet timeless look and is an excellent example of vintage coral jewelry from the period.
