Today, we take it for granted that a pearl necklace is part of our jewelry wardrobe - but before cultured pearls were widely available, each individual pearl had to be dived for individually. Not only did only a few shells contain the treasure they were looking for, but even fewer of these pearls matched in shape, size and color. The so-called "matching" could often take years. "It often takes a long time to collect the same pearls before they can be brought together to form a necklace. It took five years, for example, before the beautiful pearl necklace that Emperor Friedrich, as crown prince, presented to his young wife as a wedding gift was completed," noted the Berlin magazine Der Bazar in 1894. Genuine pearl necklaces were therefore always carefully guarded treasures that were far from being found in every jewelry box. Here is such a necklace made from genuine natural pearls. Each of the natural saltwater pearls had to be dived for in the ocean, mostly in the Persian Gulf. They are beautifully selected in size and color, ranging from silky white to delicate cream tones. Together, they form a princess-length necklace: a classic length that is neither too long nor too close to the neck and is also wonderful to wear in everyday life. They are held in place by a luxurious clasp with diamond roses in platinum on gold. The necklace comes with an independent appraisal of the pearls. It is in very good condition.
