A 20th Century coral bead necklace

Description

A 20th Century coral bead necklace, the single strand of eighty-eight coral beads graduating in size from the center, strung to a gold clasp set with an oval coral cabochon, circa 1925, later hallmarked 14ct gold, London, 2024, bearing Bentley & Skinner sponsormark, the beads measuring from 5-12mm, total length measuring approximately 73cm, gross weight 66.8 grams.

A vibrant 20th Century coral bead necklace. Dated to the mid-1920s, this necklace harkens to the trending fashion of the period, where long strands of beads and pearls were worn either as a single strand or layered with other pieces. The rich colour of the coral would contrast wonderfully and it would be perfect for any time of the year, either worn against a navy jumper or a white summer dress.
