Pearl necklaces come in a wide variety of lengths and are therefore 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 "sautoir", single or double strung, is a luxurious eye-catcher for the grand ball. This necklace is known as a chute necklace due to its shape and length. This type is characterized by a length of around 45 cm and the typical gradient shape. The largest bead is in the center, and from there the beads become smaller and smaller on both sides and towards the top. This is also alluded to in the name, which is derived from the French word "chuter" = to fall off. The pearls in the necklace are classic Akoya pearls, saltwater cultured pearls of very good quality. The pearls are white, very round and have a slight overlay, which has a pinkish shimmer in some pearls and a greenish shimmer in others. The surface of the pearls is very smooth and has a good lustre. A silver clasp rounds off the piece of jewelry and features another pearl as an eye-catcher. The company logo of the traditional J. Köhle company is embossed on the back. The company, founded in Pforzheim in 1872, existed until 2019 and was known for its high-quality clasps. We had the necklace restrung and knotted. It found its way to us here in Berlin.
