Fossil Coral Adriatic Splendor Necklace

Rectangular fossil coral beads, with striking petrified intrusions, support a structured frame. Cascading fringes drop from the base, tipped with round fossil coral stones, with a geometric beaded accent anchoring the center. The palette stays in the warm half of the spectrum without ever going harvest-themed.

Fossil coral is agatized: the original coral structure replaced by silica over millions of years, the radial pattern of the coral polyp preserved in the process. What reads as surface texture is a literal fossil record. Every rectangle is different.

Pair it with a rust linen wrap dress, an oatmeal wool sweater, or a tobacco silk shirt. For gallery dinners, market afternoons, or any evening that wants warmth without trying.
