This Art Deco coral necklace with black onyx in antique style with 24k yellow gold beads weighs 46.3g and measures 20 inches long, 15mm wide and 15mm deep. Reminiscent of the distinct geometric lines and color contrasting features of Art Deco jewelry, this intriguing Art Deco style coral necklace is composed of quatrefoil 24k yellow gold barrel-faceted beads, complemented by ten matted black onyx cubes measuring 8mm square, graded 'matte-black' color. Strung on red silk, this color-contrasted combination of gold and black is complemented by five sea bamboo discs measuring 15mm wide and 8mm deep, graded 'pigeon blood ' color. The shiny gold beads are flanked by crystal quartz rondelles measuring 8.5mm wide and 4mm deep, graded 'white' color and 'semi-translucent clear' clarity. Delicate sea bamboo tubes measuring 3mm wide and 2.5mm deep are appreciatively strung between black onyx cubes and sea bamboo disks to augment the color-contrasting effect of this artfully aligned assemblage, flanked by a combination of alternately mounted faceted crystal quartz beads measuring 6mm wide and 5mm deep, and dainty sea bamboo tubes. A 14k yellow gold marquise shape hook-on clasp secures this attention-seeking Deco style necklace.

Sea bamboo is a red variety of coral, grown in the depths of oceans and used for jewelry and ornamental objects. In its untreated state, sea bamboo is matte and may display cracks, but when polished, acquires unique attractiveness. Sea bamboo has been valued for centuries as a talisman by the Santo Domingo Indians of New Mexico, renowned for their lapidary and beading artistry. Their beaded works are worn in dances and ceremonies and given as gifts on the occasion of marriages and religious rituals.
