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!

Measurements: The necklace measures approximately 20 1/2" in length. The largest bead, which is in the center of the strand, measures approximately 10.44mm and the smallest bead is approximately 4.34mm.

Condition: The overall condition of this necklace is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no serious damage to any of the beads, which are all intact and securely strung. The clasp is secure and in good working condition.
