NR! Antique Art Deco Natural Pearl Double Strand Necklace 18K Diamond Clasp
As promised, here is another superb certified natural pearl necklace, in time for Christmas giving! Natural saltwater pearls are one of the world’s rarest gemstones, and of course highly collectible. They are “wild” as opposed to “farmed” (cultured) pearls, and so few are found today that antique and vintage jewelry is the best source for them. Each natural pearl piece makes for a truly unique and valuable gift, for anyone who appreciates history, rarity, and quality in jewelry. This is an even rarer natural pearl necklace — a double strand of essentially uniform (not graduated) pearls, 3.21mm to 2.98mm each. They are an exquisite light cream color with pinkish orient, and glow like little moons. The pearls are graded as round to near-round and extremely well matched. It would have taken years for a pearl dealer to assemble a double strand like this. The necklace dates from about 1920. It is completed by an intricate 18K white gold push-in clasp of 3/4 inch length, set with one European-cut diamond and 20 rose diamonds. The pearls have just been restrung on white silk, and the necklace is 16 inches long, so will fit a small to average neck. Total weight of the necklace is a very substantial 11.2 grams. Please note that I have indicated a limited range of countries, based on prior experience. If you live in a country not on the list, you may contact me and I will decide on a case-by-case basis. It’s that simple. Same or next day, please allow for weekends and public holidays. 1 inch = 25.4mm. Don’t forget to check out my other items! I’ll be listing more rare, certified natural pearl items in time for Christmas giving. Please note that any dark spots you see in the photographs are reflections from the camera or surroundings. The pearls are light cream in color, and excess yellow tones come from the light source (and my low-level photography skills). The item “NR!
