People have always wanted to unravel the mystery of how pearls are formed. Many beautiful and mysterious legends arose around the "gemstones of the sea", but it was not until later that the realization dawned that through the lesion of the shell a miracle of nature is resulting - the natural pearl. At the beginning of the 20th century, chance turned into a profession and skilled human hands helped nature along. The cultivation of pearls was born! In this necklace, we see three knotted strands of Japanese cultured pearls in a warm, golden cream shade with a pink overlay. The pearls are sorted in a graduated pattern. The pearls are larger in the middle and then form a finely graduated strand in increasingly smaller diameters. The colour and size of the pearls have been selected to match each other very well. The shape of the pearls ranges from round to slightly baroque and the surface of the pearls shows few to distinct surface features. The luster of the pearls is very good and homogenous. A finely textured clasp holds the necklace securely in place. It is made of silver and is set with another pearl in the middle. The hallmarks on the back of the clasp let us know that the necklace was made by Schöffel in Stuttgart, which guarantees the quality of the pearls. Its design suggests that it was created around 1970. We have had the necklace re-knotted.
