Description
It was a great sensation when the Japanese entrepreneur Mikimoto succeeded in cultivating saltwater pearls on a large scale in the early 1920s. 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 jewellery affordable for a larger clientele and triggered a fashion that has lasted to this day. This pair of fine stud earrings from around 1960 is also based on this development. The studs each feature a large cultured pearl. Their basic colour is an off-white, slightly golden cream. The pearls are very round, their surface shows few surface features from the front. The lustre is very good. The pearls are held in place by flower-shaped settings made from high-carat white gold. The ear studs are in very good condition. We discovered them here in Berlin.
