Buyer's Premium:

A Strand of African Natural Coral Beads.

A striking strand composed of graduated natural coral beads, ranging from smaller rounded segments to larger barrel-shaped examples. The coral displays vibrant tones of rich orange-red to deep vermilion, with visible natural surface textures and organic pitting characteristic of untreated coral.

The larger central beads are irregularly formed, with softly contoured edges and natural cavities that enhance their authenticity and visual depth. Smaller spacer beads create rhythm and contrast along the strand, while subtle tonal variations lend warmth and dimension throughout.
