Vintage Italian natural Mediterranean red cupolini coral bead strand 24 inches. b4-cor423

Vintage natural  Italian Mediterranean red-orange  Cupolini coral 24 inch strand.  The strand is slightly graduated with branch length from 7mm to 12mm.  This strand was purchased 1960-70s by a jewelry dealer when Mediterranean coral was plentiful.

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

We have only one strand.  You will get the strand pictured in the photo.
