Victorian 3 Strand Graduated Salmon Coral Bead Necklace Gold Clasp. 34.5 gs

  
Acquired from an Estate Sale. Authentic Antique Victorian three strand Graduated Coral Bead necklace in in overall good antique condition. Rarely found in a 3 strand necklace. Good sized graduated untreated Coral Beads with the largest measuring a diameter of approximately 9 mm's. And the smallest 5 mm's. Please note these beads are over 110 years old and will have commensurate age related surface wear to be seen. As Coral is one of a few natural organic gemstones made up of calcium carbonate (as are pearls) some of the beads have natural marks and the beads although graduated are not all perfectly shaped. A few beads have some surface wear and dust has ingrained in these places.

So they would benefit from a light clean. I have shown the beads where this occurs in picture 5 (you can magnify this image). Gold clasp not tested, possibly 15 carat, at least 9 carat. There are some marks on the clasp, other wise closes securely.

The coral beads are finished with metal balls , then attached to the clasp, probably gilt mix including brass. Length of each strand approximately 36 cm's, 39 cm's & 43 cm's. 14.25 inches, 15.4 inches & 17 inches. Please see all the pictures for all the details.
