"Winona" Necklace (Italian Coral, 18k Gold)

Our delicate "Winona" hand-linked 18k yellow gold necklace showcases 30.2 carats of rich red-orange Mediterranean coral beads. Red coral is an organic gemstone which comes from the branches of Coralis Rubrum, a type of hard tree-like coral native to the quiet seas around Italy. Coral has been used for jewelry for at least 7,000 years and is thought to have protective talismanic power. This 21-inch necklace is the perfect length for many of our smaller charms or spiritual pendants (shown on model with a carved coral drop), and looks great layered with other necklaces or wrapped three times around the wrist for double-duty as a bracelet! 18k hook clasp fastens securely.
