Description from the seller
A beautiful vintage Japanese Akoya pearl necklace composed of a continuous 110 cm strand of 172 individually knotted cultured saltwater pearls, approximately 5 mm in diameter. The pearls display an attractive creamy white colour, with excellent AA-grade lustre, delicate iridescence and luminous nacre.
An elegant and highly versatile example of Japanese pearl jewellery, distinguished by the harmonious appearance of its 172 pearls and their beautiful, soft cream tones. The generous length allows the necklace to be worn as a single long strand, doubled for a more classical appearance, or arranged in three layers to create an elegant collar.

Pearls: 172 Japanese cultured Akoya saltwater pearls, approximately 5 mm in diameter. Individually knotted throughout, with beautiful creamy white tones, AA-grade lustre, attractive surface brilliance and a harmonious overall appearance.

Condition / defects / restorations: Very good vintage condition. The pearls retain their attractive lustre, with some minor surface imperfections and signs of wear consistent with their age. The silver clasp shows light signs of use. 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.
