A cascade of glowing Mediterranean coral, carefully graduated from delicate 5.2 mm beads to an impressive 12 mm centre, gives this 1920s necklace a beautiful, balanced silhouette. The round beads are closely matched for their rich red colour and size at each point in the graduation, with a fine polish that brings out the coral's warmth. Even the clasp is part of the design: an oval coral cabochon sits in solid yellow gold, turning a practical fastening into a discreet decorative detail.

The concealed clasp closes firmly with a satisfying click. Its separate safety catch hooks over a small post for extra security. Solid 18k yellow gold end caps complete the strand. A striking piece to wear alone, with the scale and colour to become the centre of an outfit.
