Victorian 14k Graduated Oxblood Coral Bead Necklace

A gorgeous oxblood coral bead necklace from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This lovely necklace is comprised of a single strand of graduated oxblood coral beads, which are hand strung on deep red thread. Each natural and undyed bead has a smoothly polished surface and displays a spectacular, rich red color. The graduated beads meet at an intricately etched 14k disc-shaped push clasp in the back for a secure closure. The push clasp is adorned with a singular coral cabochon, which is held within a ribbed bezel setting. The clasp also features an additional figure eight for added security. Although somewhat faded, the back of the clasp is stamped "K14". Perfect for everyday wear or special occasions, this elegant and colorful necklace would make a perfect addition to any collection!
