This necklace features an impressive strand of large white pearls measuring approximately 11 mm each. The pearls are predominantly round with a smooth surface and excellent luster, showing strong iridescence with a soft pink overtone across the strand.
The pearls are very well matched in both size and color, giving the necklace a refined and high-end appearance. Larger pearls of this size create a bold, classic look while still maintaining elegance due to their consistent quality and finish.
The strand is fully hand knotted between each pearl, a traditional and desirable technique that protects the pearls from friction and helps preserve their surface over time. This method is also a key indicator of higher-quality construction and adds to the overall value of the piece.
The necklace is finished with a sterling silver lobster clasp stamped 925.
Pearls have been prized for thousands of years, symbolizing wealth and refinement across cultures. Larger, well-matched strands such as this became especially popular in the late 20th century as advancements in pearl cultivation made high-quality, sizable pearls more accessible while maintaining their luxurious appeal.
Condition is very good, with light wear consistent with age. The pearls retain strong luster and the strand remains secure.
