It was a great sensation when the Japanese entrepreneur Mikimoto succeeded for the first time in the early 1920s in cultivating saltwater pearls on a large and marketable scale. Until then, pearl necklaces had to be made from naturally grown pearls, which were about as expensive as diamonds of the same size. It was only the invention of the cultured pearl that made pearl jewellery affordable for a wider audience and triggered a major fashion trend that has continued to this day. The necklace presented here features beautiful cultured pearls with an iridescent rosy-grey overtone, graduated in size. The largest pearl is positioned at the bottom centre, with the pearls gradually decreasing in size towards both sides and upwards. A small silver clasp set with three modern brilliant-cut diamonds is entirely dedicated to the forms of Art Deco. Clasps of this type were still being produced until the 1950s. The slight patina of the silver effectively enhances the white brilliance of the diamonds, making the clasp at the nape of the neck as much of an eye-catcher as the pearls in the décolleté. We have had the necklace professionally restrung and knotted, ensuring that it can now be worn with confidence.
