It was a great sensation when the Japanese entrepreneur Mikimoto succeeded in cultivating full-round saltwater pearls on a large scale for the first time 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 wasn't until the invention of the cultured pearl that pearl jewelry became affordable to a wider mass and sparked a huge fashion that has lasted to this day. The present necklace in the classic form of the so-called "Collier Chute" strings together beautiful cultured pearls with rosy-gray luster. This type of necklace is characterized by the typical gradient shape. The largest pearl is located at the bottom center, and starting from it, the pearls become smaller and smaller towards the sides. This is also alluded to by the name, which is derived from French "chuter" = to fall off. A small clasp made of gold, the front side of which has been rhodium-plated, is designed in the shape of a small flower, on which another pearl sits as a flower pistil. We have had the chain re-strung and knotted so that the necklace can be worn again today without worry. A timeless classic among jewelry.
