Freshwater Pearl and Sciacca Coral Necklace by Patricia Oro

The pearl and coral necklace we present is an authentic piece of Sicilian craftsmanship, created by Patricia Oro in Sciacca. Every detail tells of a passion for precious materials and meticulous workmanship.

The coral branch, sourced from the Mediterranean Sea, is a specimen of Corallium Rubrum weighing 9.7 grams. The pearls are spherical freshwater pearls with a diameter of 8.5-9mm, offering a soft, natural lustre. The stringing is done with knots, a technique that not only embellishes but also protects the threads and gives movement to the jewellery.

Sciacca Coral: A Millennia-Old Tradition

Sciacca has always been linked to the fishing and working of red coral. In this necklace, the branch is left in its irregular form to enhance the uniqueness of each creation. To learn more about the history of coral, I invite you to visit the Wikipedia page dedicated to coral, where fascinating insights await.

A Versatile and Precious Piece

The 60cm length allows it to be worn alone as a focal point or combined with shorter necklaces. The clasp is in silver, simple and secure. The contrast between the intense red of the coral and the luminous white of the pearls creates a visual balance that captivates the eye.

Each necklace is accompanied by a Patricia Oro gift box. For those seeking a special gift, or to indulge in a moment of beauty, this necklace is the perfect choice.
