A near perfect necklace is this 12 strand stunner of natural red Mediterranean coral beads by Tony Aguilar. The coral beads have been hand-drilled and hand-shaped into tiny round beads, which is quite different from the tubular shaped coral Pueblo necklaces that we normally see. The coral is set off by just the right amount of natural hand-rolled turquoise. This stellar piece comes directly from the Aguilar family, and it was, most likely, a family heirloom rather than a piece that was originally made to be purchased. It has a substantial weight and feel without being too heavy. The necklace was strung traditionally on waxed twine with the knotted ends burned. The fastening is quite secure, but if you prefer, we are happy to have it rewrapped with a Native-style wrap. The necklace hangs 16" from Knot. It is unsigned. Please note that the necklace is "redder" than it appears in the photograph.
