Antique red coral and 19 kt gold pendant
About the Item
This beautifully carved full face of a Bacchante or possibly of Bacchus. The carving is so crisp and well defined and could pass as a Roman antique.
The head is wreathed with well executed grape leaves of gold. The detail on the leaves is of the highest quality. This is really the best carved coral
portrait pendent I’ve ever handled.
You can see from the photographs the back of the piece is a plate of solid gold with an interesting, pierced design. Notice the quite large and solid pair of hooks to secure the necklace. This piece is most likely from the Neapolitan area.
I think it dates from the latter half of the 19th century. Possibly earlier, as coral jewelry has always been highly prized. This piece is very nice and definitely not a crudely made tourist piece.
An intricately wrought chain would be a nice with this pendant.

Antique Italian Pink Coral and Sterling Silver Letter Opener
Located in Roma, IT
This silver and antique coral letter opener was handmade by our talented goldsmiths, who used a coral branch from Sciacca, the Sicilian town famous for its corals.
The Sciacca Coral has unique origins in the world: it is closely tied to the exceptional history of the Ferdinandea Island, which is a submerged volcanic island in the Strait of Sicily, between Pantelleria and Sciacca.
As of today the summit of the Ferdinandea Island remains between about 6 and 8 meters below the Mediterranean Sea level. Its most recent appearance as an island was in July 1831.
In the late 1831, in a shoal (called later ”Bummolo” by the fishermen of Sciacca) located around 30 miles from Sciacca, a new island emerged in a fiery hell from the depths of the Strait of Sicily.
However, one year later, the island sank back beneath the waters and definitely disappeared in the Strait of Sicily.
Over time, thanks to the exceptional microclimate determined by the frequent volcanic phenomena along the slopes of the submerged volcano, huge coral...
