1970's mediterranean pink coral necklace

We're not sure if it's our italian heritage, but we've always had a mild obsession with vintage coral jewellery. This tesoro is a mini bib branch single strand necklace made from a delicate pink mediterranean coral. Wear it on it's own for a pop or colour or stack it as we've done. 

How do you know your coral is real? 

there are chemical tests involving lemon juice or vinegar and dyed coral may transfer colour when rubbed. the simplest way to tell is weight and feel; tiny pores and pits, natural patterns, grains and imperfections indicate authenticity.  

PERIOD: 1970's

Length: 15.75' total

Width: widest part of mini bib 1', thinnest 0.2'

MATERIAL: pink mediterranen coral, with a gold metal lobster clasp

CONDITION: excellent

Please remember that vintage pieces have lived a life before yours — and may carry small signs of that journey. By choosing vintage, you’re not just embracing their story, but also making a mindful, planet-friendly decision.

antique silver plated belt buckle bracelet

an incredible relic from the victoria era, a silver plated belt buckle motif cuff bracelet, that fastens on a hinge. it's got a wonderful patina that seems to pick out the details of the design, along the edges, and tracing parts of the belt buckle.

Victorian jewellery is steeped in symbolism, the belt buckle representing the binding of two people together, whether in love or friendship. Not only for romantic love, buckle jewellery was often exchanged between siblings or best friends. In some cases, these pieces were made to honour the enduring memory of a lost loved one.

They were often worn stacked in pairs or one adorned on each wrist. They were not only fashionable but carried deep sentimental value.

Length: 7.2' cuff
