It was a great sensation when the Japanese entrepreneur Mikimoto succeeded in cultivating saltwater pearls on a large scale in the early 1920s. Until then, pearl necklaces had to be made from naturally grown pearls, which were about as expensive as diamonds of the same size. It was not until the invention of the cultured pearl that pearl jewelry became affordable to a wider mass and triggered a great fashion that has lasted until today. Here we have a beautiful matinee length necklace composed of fine cultured pearls. Matinee is considered the ideal length for elegant events that take place during the day: Such as a brunch, a gallery visit, or an afternoon tea. The large pearls shimmer with a creamy luster. At the back, the necklace is held by a white gold clasp in the shape of a flower, each of the eight leaves set with a sapphire, with a pistil formed by another pearl. Would you like to take the restrung and knotted necklace out for tea?

Pearl necklaces come in quite different lengths: For casual wear and business we recommend the classic "choker" (35-40 cm), for more festive occasions it may be the slightly longer "matinée necklace" (50-60 cm) and for the grand ball is the 70-90 cm long "Opera" length, also called "Sautoir", single or double tied a luxurious eye-catcher.
