Inspiration Behind the Roman Holiday Vintage Coral Necklace with Tahitian Pearl
A warm, sun-washed vintage salmon coral necklace accented with a luminous Tahitian pearl. Romantic, timeless, and softly radiant — this strand captures the spirit of Italy’s golden summers and the quiet luxury of natural materials.
Inspired by vintage Roman coral jewelry and the nostalgic tones of European seaside summers, this strand blends heirloom charm with modern sensibility. The soft salmon hue recalls terracotta walls, sunset light, and hand-carved coral beads found in antique markets. The single Tahitian pearl adds a touch of sophisticated contrast — a reminder of ocean travel, ancient trade routes, and timeless beauty. The antique coral was sourced by Zoe in Rome and is available in a limited quantity.
