Faceted Barrel Coral Sciacca Necklace, 18k Gold

This faceted barrel coral necklace is an authentic piece of Sicilian craftsmanship, combining a passion for the sea with goldsmith mastery. The faceted barrels are handcrafted, with a size gradient from 5x6 mm up to 12x13 mm, for a total of 70 elements. Each coral comes from the Mediterranean Sea, specifically from the Sciacca area, renowned for the quality of its Sciacca Coral.

The necklace measures approximately 53 cm in length and is strung with silk knots, a technique that enhances the natural movement of the corals and protects them from wear. The clasp is in 18k gold (750 fineness), a detail that adds value and security. Weighing approximately 31.6 grams, it is extremely comfortable to wear: its lightness makes it suitable for any occasion, from everyday wear to the most elegant evenings.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Each barrel is hand-faceted to create plays of light that enhance the deep red of corallium rubrum. The rounded shape and irregular facets give a contemporary look to an ancient material. The gradient of sizes – smaller at the centre, larger towards the clasp – follows a classic yet timeless design.
