The Greeks and Romans were already very fond of pearls as pieces of jewelry. The Greek term "margarita" was also used to refer to a lover, a term that is still used today in the name Margarete. Often strung into necklaces, pearl necklaces come in very different lengths, which is why they are so versatile. Whether sporty or elegant, each pearl necklace can enhance clothing in different ways: we recommend the classic "choker" (35-40 cm) for casual and business wear, the slightly longer "matinée necklace" (50-60 cm) for more festive occasions and the 70-90 cm "opera" length, also known as the "sautoir", is a luxurious eye-catcher for the grand ball, whether worn single or double. Here we have an opera necklace that impresses with over one hundred Akoya pearls. The sea-grown, high-quality pearls with slight growth characteristics have a warm white shimmer, are very round and have been selected to match each other perfectly. They have a rosy overlay and good to very good lustre. The luxurious strand is made wearable by an abstractly designed, flower-like clasp in white gold, which is set with three natural rubies. The clasp also makes reference to love, as it is widely known that the ruby stands for love and passion. We have had the 1960s necklace restrung and knotted so that it is ready to be taken out to a playhouse or even just in a café!
