AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A remarkable vintage Japanese-made Akoya pearl necklace composed of a continuous 130 cm strand of individually knotted cultured saltwater pearls, approximately 7 mm in diameter. The pearls display an attractive lustre, with very subtle pink overtones, delicate iridescence and luminous nacre.
An elegant and highly versatile example of Japanese pearl jewellery, distinguished by the generous length of its strand and the soft, creamy colour of its pearls, enhanced by a delicate hint of pink. The necklace can be worn as a single long strand, doubled for a more classical appearance, or arranged in three layers to create an elegant collar.
Clasp: Marked 925 silver clasp featuring a simple, elongated design. The clasp shows some surface wear consistent with its age and use.
Pearls: Japanese cultured Akoya saltwater pearls, approximately 7 mm in diameter. Attractive lustre, with creamy white tones and very subtle pink reflections, creating a harmonious overall appearance. Some pearls exhibit minor surface imperfections and wear to the nacre, consistent with the necklace's vintage character.
Dimensions: Approximately 130 cm total length.
Condition / defects / restorations: Overall great vintage condition. The pearls retain their attractive lustre, although some show visible surface wear, including light scratches, minor blemishes and areas of wear to the nacre. The silver clasp also displays signs of use and age. No known restorations.
Origin: Japan.
Shipping and insurance: Presented in a black velvet jewellery pouch and carefully packaged with additional protective materials to ensure safe transit. Shipped fully insured for the purchase value, with tracking.
