19 - Vintage bracelet with a cross pendant. Natural red coral and ebonite. Torre del Greco.

Vintage bracelet with a cross pendant. Natural red coral and ebonite. Torre del Greco. Natural red coral, polished black ebonite, gold and synthetic ivory details. Adjustable size; cross 3 x 1 cm. Vintage bracelet made with alternating pieces of natural coral and cylindrical elements of polished black ebonite, separated by gold details that rhythmically structure the composition. A small cross made of coral beads and gold-plated settings hangs from the center, an element that lends the piece a distinct devotional character. The contrast between the red of the coral, the deep black of the ebonite, and the warm reflections of the metal gives the piece visual impact. The bracelet is linked to the craftsmanship of Torre del Greco, Naples—a center traditionally associated with coral work—and retains an adjustable structure typical of 20th-century vintage jewelry.
