About the Item

Large organic pieces of salmon-colored bamboo coral are the focal point of this bold necklace. Purchased from an estate as a parcel of bamboo coral, Kirsten’s Corner had the pieces knotted with silk thread and added a substantial 14k gold lobster clasp. This necklace is great for summer or for creating a dramatic look that brings attention to the neckline. The pink bamboo coral (Keratoisis sp.) used in this necklace gets its name because its segmented skeleton is similar to bamboo plants. From the coast of Southern California, the coral in this necklace is un-dyed and the growth patterns of the coral can be seen on the ends of each piece. Natural coral is cool to the touch, with a satin like finish. The necklace is 17 3/4” long, and the coral varies in width (most pieces are about 1 1/4” or 1 1/2”). The necklace weighs .77 lbs. The lobster clasp is 14k gold. A row of four connected 14k gold jump rings create a chain at the end of the necklace that allows you to clip into multiple places for varying lengths. This stunning necklace has an almost tribal look--perfect for channeling your inner Raquel Welch!

Victorian 18K Gold Capped Large Coral Large Cornicello Pendant
Located in Venice, CA
Circa the Victorian era, this beautifully polished piece of natural branch coral has an organic form and rich salmon color. The coral has a waxy patina and glows the way only Victorian coral can. It has a lovely elongated shape, capped with an 18k gold repeating leaf foliate motif. The growth patterns and natural details of the coral are visible, and because a piece of branch coral this size is hard to find, this is a rare piece. Acquired on a recent trip to Amsterdam, we believe this piece to be Dutch made. It was originally a seal that had never had a cypher, or monogram, added to it. We thought it would make a perfect pendant, so we added an 18k gold bail with a matte finish to match the antique nature of the piece. The 18k gold cap, intended to be a cypher, is hand-carved with bright cut work—creating a pattern of leaves from tiny punched in cut marks. The gold has a great patina that we left in tact, as it is part of the antique charm of the piece. The large pendant has presence on the neck. It looks great alone, but also stacks beautifully with other charms. It is pictured here on our Signature Handmade Dog Bone Link Chain...
