In Ancient times, coral was worn as protection against evils. It was frequently tied to babies' clothing as well as adults (to ward off the Evil Eye). The warm hue and smooth texture of carved coral became popular during the Victorian Era, and more extravagant pieces were made. It never really went out of style, as the peachy hue compliments all skin tones.
This wonderful necklace is made of a beautiful string of bright orange coral beads with nineteen drops to create a fringe at your collarbone. Beautifully accented with 18 karat spacer beads and caps to reflect the light, it's like wearing sunshine around your neck!
