Red Coral Necklace

This red coral necklace holds 15 huge sized coral beads, size from 3.6x1.5 cm to 1.6x1cm, each coral embedded sliver caps for connecting. Red coral holds a sacred and luxurious status in Chinese culture, revered not just for its vivid color but also for its deep symbolic ties to power, protection, and prosperity. In the Qing Dynasty China, red coral was reserved for the highest ranks of society. Only the emperor and first-grade officials could wear coral court beads as a symbol of supreme authority. It was one of the “Three Precious Organic Treasures", alongside pearls and amber often inlaid in crowns, scepters, and imperial ornaments.
