Coral and Gold Long Chain Necklace
$8,500
This hand-formed twisted gold chain, with its tightly interwoven links and intense cluster patterning, is punctuated by brightly-colored red coral beads in smooth cylinders and spheres. Light enough to wear it long, or double it asymmetrically to create a subtle and complex necklace for everyday elegance.
