ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, HISTORY &/or LORE: Blue coral can be found only in the tropical Indo-Pacific region of the Indian and Pacific oceans. They are unusual in the fact that they possess a natural blue color, have a blue skeleton, and that they haven't changed form for over 60 million years.

JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): This vintage necklace from Miriam Haskell features a mix of materials including blue coral, mother of pearl beads, brass, and gold plated metal. The necklace is 29 inches long with a patented slide hook and is easy to wear. It is handmade and signed, with a unique clasp that adds to its charm. The necklace has a bohemian, nature-inspired style with a touch of vintage flair. It is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a special event like a wedding or graduation, or just an everyday accessory. The necklace is a rare and unique piece that will make a statement as part of any outfit.

CONDITION: Fantastic vintage condition - no damage or quirks found to mention. This is in superior shape. Minor gold plating wear on the bright gold plated metallic beads - adds to the vintage charm and allows you a peek at the brassy coppery color underneath. They all look to have a small circular pooled ring - I am guessing that was original and part of the creation. See last photo for an example. A real conversation piece! Please study all photos to self-form an opinion of condition and gain additional item insight that only viewing photos can provide. A fantastic find in an excellent state of preservation.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an important integral part and extension of the description.
