The Red Bamboo Coral Beaded Necklace is bold, bright, and impossible to ignore. Smooth red coral beads mix with organic bamboo coral sticks, all hand-knotted on deep red silk and finished with an ethically sourced 14K gold-filled lobster clasp.
It's polished enough for a white shirt and wild enough to make an outfit. Each one is strung and finished in our Florida Keys studio, and only one is available.
Beads and Sticks, Polish and Edge
Round coral beads give this necklace structure and rich color, while the stick shapes add movement and a little attitude. Knotted on matching red silk, the color runs unbroken from end to end, so the whole strand reads as one bold, saturated statement.
What Is Bamboo Coral?
Bamboo coral is a deep-sea coral named for its segmented, bamboo-like branches. It's a popular, more affordable alternative to precious Mediterranean red coral, with the same bold look and beautiful polish.
