Red Coral Chip Necklace

This is a single-strand necklace composed entirely of vibrant red coral chips. The coral pieces are irregularly shaped, showcasing their natural, unpolished form. Each chip varies in size, ranging from approximately 3mm to 8mm in length and width, with varying thickness, contributing to the organic and tactile feel of the piece. The color is a consistent, rich, opaque red throughout the strand, indicating a good quality of coral. The individual chips appear to be drilled through and strung together, likely on a durable thread or wire, though the specific stringing material is not clearly discernible. From the visible section, the necklace appears quite long, potentially designed to be worn as a opera-length single strand or doubled. There are no visible signs of damage such as cracks, chips (beyond their natural formation), or significant wear on the coral pieces. The overall construction appears sturdy, and the natural variations in the coral's shape and surface add to its unique character rather than being considered flaws. No manufacturer's marks or signatures are visible. The style is classic and timeless, often associated with bohemian, naturalistic, or Southwestern aesthetics, suggesting an origin anytime from the mid-20th century to contemporary production, as this chip style remains perennially popular. The craftsmanship, while simple, effectively highlights the natural beauty of the coral.
