Even among the Greeks and Romans, pearls were highly sought after as jewellery. The Greek term "margarita" was also used, as it were, to refer to the beloved, a term that has survived to this day in the name Margaret. Often strung into necklaces, pearl necklaces come in a wide variety of lengths, which is why they are so versatile. Whether sporty or elegant, each pearl necklace can enhance clothing in different directions: 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, the 70-90 cm long "opera" length, also called "sautoir", single or double tied is a luxurious eye-catcher. Here now we have an opera necklace that convinces with over one hundred cultured pearls. The pearls with slight growth characteristics shimmer in a rosy luster. The luxurious strand is made wearable by an abstract flower-like clasp made of white gold, which is set with three natural rubies. Thus, 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 a cafe!
