Choker necklace adorned with a piece of orange-red coral root that has been dipped in gold. Gold-plated metal bar clasp. Length: 43.5 cm. Signs of wear. Coral (Corallium spp.) (Corallidae spp.) (NR). Specimen that has undergone mechanical restructuring through polishing, cutting, turning, or faceting, dating back more than 50 years, and not covered by the Washington Convention (CITES), EC Regulation 338/97 of December 9, 1996, or the French Environmental Code. The commercial use of this specimen is permitted in the EU because the material is not raw but has been worked into jewelry. For any potential export, it is the responsibility of the successful bidder to check with the customs authorities of the relevant country—particularly the United States—prior to purchasing this lot containing coral. To take the item out of the EU, a CITES re-export permit will be required, the cost of which is the responsibility of the future purchaser.
