Beautiful antique coral necklace found in my late grandmother’s jewellery box. The beads are graduated with the smallest being 5mm  and the largest 10mm, the length of the whole necklace is 40 cms. It is a strong orange red colour with natural flaws typical with real coral. On each bead you can see striation marks where it has been carved. The weight of the necklace is around 45grams. The necklace is most likely Mediterranean in origin. The spring clasp is yellow metal. It would benefit from specialist cleaning and possible restringing.
