This is what oxblood coral looks like, really. 3 strands of antique hand carved and polished deep red coral, restrung with authentic vintage 9k gold clasp topped with 3 cabochons of matched color.
Such a delicate material that compliments any neckline.
The story behind the piece: I got some loose faceted antique beads and no clasp; I decided to go to a 9k clasp from my own collection to compliment such beautiful deep red antique coral beads because the clasp is utmost important to me.
I am an historian of clasps as seen in my book: "CLASPS, 4,000 Years of Fasteners in Jewellery".
