Capri Reverie Necklace
Three-Strand Mediterranean Red Coral Necklace with Antique 14k Dutch Gold Clasp, c.1900

A timeless celebration of Southern beauty, this necklace features hand-polished Corallium rubrum coral beads in rich salmon-red hues, cut circa 1900. Graduated into three parallel strands for a graceful drape, the piece is secured with its original antique Dutch clasp in 14k gold, intricately detailed and set with coral cabochons.

Bask in the golden warmth of a vanished summer—where the scent of lemons lingers in the breeze and the sea shimmers beneath the last rays of the Neapolitan sun. Capri Reverie Necklace transports us to that moment: a place where time unspools gently and the heart rests, far from duty and storm.

No material evokes the memory of southern summers like precious Mediterranean coral. Its hue—a burnished, sun-drenched red with a whisper of salmon—has graced generations with vitality, protection, and joy. In this necklace, coral sings in its purest form.

Composed of rare antique Corallium rubrum beads, hand-shaped and polished in the early 20th century, this three-strand necklace is a masterwork of craftsmanship and natural wonder. The gently compressed barrel shapes—measuring up to 13 mm in diameter—reveal a silky uniformity in surface and colour, testifying to their superb provenance.

Each strand, graduated to fall in harmonious parallel along the décolleté, has been freshly restrung to preserve its grace and strength. The original Dutch clasp, a richly chased 14k gold design adorned with coral cabochons, fastens the piece with historic charm and opulent precision.

A certificate of authenticity accompanies this heirloom, confirming the exceptional quality of its coral—material as enduring as the summer dreams it embodies.
