An exceptional estate grand parure of natural tube coral, comprising a long necklace, three strand bracelet, and matching drop earrings with gold filled and vermeil findings.
This rare vintage set is distinguished by its beautifully matched natural tube coral beads, a form especially prized by collectors and increasingly difficult to find in this substantial size, quality, and completeness. The color is true coral with warm orange undertones, rich and vivid without appearing harsh, and the beads retain the subtle organic irregularities that are characteristic of genuine natural material.
The necklace is thoughtfully graduated, with five larger tube coral beads at the center and six smaller beads placed between them to create a graceful curve when worn. It measures approximately 24 1/4 inches long and closes with a marquise shaped filigree clasp marked 14/20G, indicating 1/20 14K gold content. The coral beads graduate from approximately 12mm at the center to 5mm at the ends, giving the necklace a substantial presence while preserving an elegant line.
The bracelet is composed of three strands of matching natural tube coral beads and measures approximately 7 1/4 inches long. The beads are approximately 5mm in diameter and the bracelet closes with a decorative filigree box clasp marked STERLING 8. The clasp is gold vermeil over sterling silver.
The matching drop earrings measure approximately 1 1/2 inches long and are fitted with 14K gold filled ear wires. The tube coral drops measure approximately 5mm in diameter. They will arrive with new clutches for wear.
Together, the set weighs approximately 83 grams, or 3 ounces, and presents with the luxurious visual impact of a complete parure while remaining highly wearable as separates.
