Red branches, never twice the same

Reserved here, collected at the stall
This piece is made by hand and lives on the market stall: it doesn’t go into the basket, it gets reserved. Write what you need here — the request reaches Tuscany Market Hub and we pass it on to L’Arte di Creare, who will tell you whether it’s still there, what it costs and where to collect it.

Branches of red coral mounted side by side, tips pointing down, alternating with glossy black spheres and small grains of matt lava stone. Every branch has its own shape: no two are alike, and the necklace is built around what the sea has already decided.
The red is not uniform — it runs from brick to pale coral, with white veining surfacing where the branch forks. The black of the spheres is glossy and mirror-like, the lava is porous and dull: two different blacks, set side by side so you notice.
In the same photograph, hanging below, are the earrings from the same series.
