108 - Necklace of cascading red coral beads.

Necklace of cascading red coral beads. Hook clasp concealed beneath a knot made of twisted white gold (750) wire. Gross weight: 32.3 g. - Length: 53 cm. Some imperfections on certain beads. Coral (Corallium spp.) (Corallidae spp.) (NR). Specimen that has undergone mechanical restructuring through polishing, cutting, turning, or faceting, dating back more than 50 years; not covered by the Washington Convention (CITES), EC Regulation 338/97 of December 9, 1996, or the French Environmental Code. The commercial use of this specimen is permitted in the EU because the material is not raw but has been worked into jewelry. For any potential export, it is the responsibility of the winning bidder to check with the customs authorities of the relevant country—particularly the United States—prior to purchasing this lot containing coral. To take the item out of the EU, a CITES re-export permit will be required, the cost of which is the responsibility of the future purchaser.
