Coral Necklace Art Deco 22" Natural Tomato Red

About the Item

This 22" natural and undyed coral bead necklace features 101 tomato-red coral beads strung on silk and individually hand-knotted between each bead. The beads graduate in size from from 3.94mm near the clasp to 8mm for the center bead. The artfully-rendered clasp is marked "835;" a European metal fineness mark indicating a composition of 82% silver. This fluted clasp is set with a 4.58mm cabochon of tomato red coral. Though the necklace was restrung in the not-too-distant past, I believe it dates to the 1930s. The beads were each hand-carved, and several have tiny surface imperfections, which those of us who love precious coral dismiss without a second thought. The waxy luster of these gorgeous beads serves as a testimony to their quality. I'm always on the lookout for coral necklaces of this color and this length or longer but I so rarely find them in such pristine condition.

  • Gump's Jade Necklace, circa 1960s
    By Gump's San Francisco
    Located in Southbury, CT
    The luminous untreated jadeite jade beads that compose this 20" necklace are so faintly light green, that they appear white. Well, but not white; not really, because they are far too fascinating to be merely white like a piece of paper or a sheet. It is as if an apparition has assumed bead form and settled around the neck. These gorgeous, succulent beads seem filled with a reserve of light they have gathered during the day in order to release back into the night like a whisper. If you like pearls but wish for something denser, more grounded in the material world, these may be for you. They do look like pearls from a distance, a pristine strand of vintage cultured Akoya pearls. But then, up close, what are they? White sapphires? What could they be? Most people, of course, have no idea jade is anything other than green. The individual beads measure approximately 8.5mm for a clean, unified presentation around the neck. I am a second-generation collector of jade and have loved Gump's jade jewelry all my life. Gump's was an iconic San Francisco department store that was founded in the 19th century and awed the world with their remarkable and unique pieces until 2005 when they were sold. Gump's never used any dyed or treated jade in any of their jewelry, so they remain one of very few brands that you never need to have tested; vintage Gump...
