The center sections of each of the five strands of this multi-strand necklace are cupolini beads, which are sections of the small, very fine branches of coral. The delicate scale and irregular shapes add a lot of texture to this piece. Each strand ends with smaller coral beads and coordinating glass seed beads. The strands are finished with sterling silver findings and the necklace is fastened with an Israeli-made fancy sterling silver hook and eye clasp.
