This accessory is a necklace made of natural red coral, typically decorated with fragments of asteroids, so-called “fringes” or “clusters”. These pieces of jewellery are usually handcrafted and stand out for their vibrant colours and irregular, organic shapes inspired by sea reefs.

Many of these pieces, such as those from Coralli di Sardegna or Sanna Gioielli, are made in the Mediterranean region, more specifically in Sardinia, Italy. They often feature clasps made of noble materials such as 925 sterling silver or gold-plated finishes.
High-quality, handmade models from Italy can cost around CHF 350 for antique or handcrafted design pieces.
