Sciacca Coral Necklace with Raw Stone

A Sciacca coral necklace with timeless allure

This Sciacca coral necklace is a piece that tells the story of Sicilian fishermen’s tradition. The coral, fished from the Mediterranean Sea, is handcrafted into two strands of irregular tubes and medium-sized cups, threaded with knots as was done in the old days. Adding character, a raw stone on the side lends a primal, authentic touch. Weighing around 80 grams and 80 cm in length, it is a substantial necklace to be worn with pride.

Every piece is unique: the slight irregularities in the coral are a mark of its natural origin and hand-finishing. Mediterranean Corallium rubrum is known for its intense colour, ranging from vivid red to salmon pink, and for its lustre after polishing. Here it appears in shapes that evoke the sea and rock, without being over-polished, preserving its untamed spirit.

The artisanal craftsmanship

The necklace is made using the knotting technique: each piece of coral is separated by a hand-tied knot, which prevents friction and gives the jewellery flexibility. The two strands run parallel, creating a full, voluminous effect. The raw stone on the side is unworked coral, left natural, protruding like an irregular pendant. This detail makes each necklace distinct.

For lovers of Sciacca coral, this is a collector’s piece. It is not an industrial creation, but an object made with care, selecting quality materials. Fishing takes place in the Mediterranean, and the tradition of Sciacca is renowned for working red coral. To learn more, read the page dedicated to Sciacca coral on Wikipedia.
