This rare and exquisite necklace features Momo Coral and Angelskin Coral beads. Three large Momo Coral focal beads define the necklace, allowing for a beautiful look with a deep texture and gorgeous color. Momo Coral is extremely rare and is only produced when a sponge inhabits a coral colony, emitting an acid that carves little tunnels which becomes it's habitat. This process differentiates Momo Coral ( a precious coral) from Sponge Coral (not precious), which has differently colored vein-banding and a different texture. The piece is secured with a filigree sterling silver clasp and is 19 inches in length. The graduated beads, range from 7mm to 23mm. Beads are from the 1960s/70s  or older, and are newly restrung on silk thread.
