RARE FIND!! Vintage Art Deco Carved Coral Tulip Necklace.

A truly enchanting survivor from the Art Deco era (circa 1930s–40s).

THE MAGIC IS IN THE DETAILS
• Every single bead hand-carved into a miniature tulip flower.
• Softly flared petals with beautiful organic shaping.
• Alternating with glowing angel skin coral spacer beads.
• Delicate palette of creamy ivory & warm peach-salmon tones.
Each tulip is like a tiny sculpture — you can literally see the hand of the artisan in every curve. This level of carving is not something you see often anymore.

THE CORAL STORY
This necklace features a beautiful pairing of:
• White coral (carved tulips).
• Angel skin coral (round beads).
Angel skin coral is especially loved for its dreamy, soft blush tone, often associated with warmth, calmness, and femininity — and here it adds the perfect contrast to the creamy carved florals.

DESIGN & WEARABILITY
• Elegant graduated layout for a natural drape.
• Extra length = perfect for layering into a neckmess or wearing solo as a statement.
• Finished with a classic vintage screw-barrel clasp..

Pieces like this were painstakingly carved by hand, often for export — making surviving examples today increasingly scarce.

MARKET NOTE
Comparable carved coral necklaces are currently achieving around:
R2,800 – R6,500+ depending on quality and condition — and this one sits firmly in the higher collectible bracket thanks to the carved tulip work.
