The coral beads each measure around 4 - 5mm.

This necklace was most likely worn by a child as it is very short! The Coral beads are a dark "salmon red" colour and they display the graining that naturally occurs in coral. Interesting Facts: Romans adorned their Children in Coral to protect them from harm. Historically Coral has been a popular choice for Christening presents (early 17th century portraits of children are shown wearing a simple row of coral beads). Not hallmarked but tested as 15carat gold.
