Vintage Italian natural Mediterranean frangia coral branches 10 grams. b4-cor420

Vintage natural  Italian Mediterranean salmon frangia branch coral beads.  The branch lengths range from 15mm to 18mm.  There are approximately 50 to 55 beads in the bag but that number will vary because of differences of thickness and length of the branches.    These beads come from coral strands  purchased  in the 1960s-70s by a jewelry dealer when Italian coral was plentiful.

This gorgeous natural salmon hued Mediterranean coral is no longer being mined and is rarely available today.  Most of the coral being offered today is dyed bamboo coral. We are fortunate to be able to offer small quantities of this beautiful naturally colored Italian coral that is now nearly extinct.
