Did you know that pearl necklaces of different lengths are also called different things? For example, a short necklace worn very close to the neck is called a "choker", which is derived from the English word for "choker" - even though it is of course intended to adorn and not choke. A "choker necklace", on the other hand, is slightly longer than a choker and consists of beads that become thicker towards the middle. Its name is derived from the French; "chute" means "to fall" and describes the graduation of the pearls. The 46 cm long pearl necklace presented here is a classic matinée necklace that is worn on the décolleté. This fine piece of jewelry shines with the warm glow of large, round Akoya pearls, which are all individually knotted. The necklace comprises a total of 49 pearls with a uniform diameter of around 8.0 millimetres. They shimmer in a warm white, their lustre is good to very good and they show slight to clear signs of growth. The decorative clasp made from high-carat white gold is set with seven small rubies. This creates an elegant and pleasantly warm impression of white and red, which wonderfully complements the delicate cream tone of the pearls. A luxurious classic.
