A natural treasure, this antique Salmon Coral necklace is a carved dog bone shaped Coral bead. Also known as the hourglass or rolling pin shape, this coral bead was popular from the mid 1800s through to the early 1900s. The 375 gold clasp is a modern addition.
The hand carved dogbone branch coral is a beautiful, warm peachy red.
As coral is a natural treasure, these necklaces are highly valued and was believed to ward off evil, protect children, and valued as a protective charm for travellers and sailors.
