It was a great sensation when the Japanese entrepreneur Mikimoto succeeded in cultivating saltwater pearls on a large scale at the beginning of the last century. 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 the invention of the cultured pearl that made pearl jewelry affordable and triggered a great fashion that has lasted to this day. This necklace is particularly magnificent. The necklace consists of two rows of fine saltwater cultured pearls, so-called Akoya pearls. The high-quality pearls are individually knotted and strung, mostly very round and very well matched in size and color. They shimmer in a warm cream tone with a delicate pink overlay. The surface of the pearls shows very few surface features. The luster of the pearls varies between very good and good, which gives the necklace a certain vibrancy. The large decorative clasp is also particularly eye-catching: it is made from white gold and set with nine white diamonds with a total weight of 0.40 carats. Its design with matt and polished sections is reminiscent of a rose petal. The hallmarks show that it comes from the Wilhelm Müller wholesaler in Schwäbisch Gmünd and was most likely made in Germany. The necklace is in very good condition and makes a wonderful necklace for festive occasions.
