A necklace such as this would likely have been a souvenir from the Grand Tour when visiting Naples, the ancient centre of the Coral industry in Italy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003enatural hand carved Mediterranean Coral \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe strand measures 15 inches and fastens with a simple Gold plated bolt ring clasp.
