Pearls have always been one of the most coveted materials in the world of jewellery. Before the invention of pearl cultivation, their value could only be compared to the four great gemstones ruby, emerald, diamond and sapphire (in the order of their former importance). Many stories and legends surround the creation of pearls and the magical powers attributed to them. This necklace consists of a number of these legendary treasures. These are Akoya cultured pearls, which have been grown in special shells in Japan since the 1920s. Each pearl grows for several years until it reaches the required size. The pearls have a creamy color with a rosy, sometimes slightly green overlay. The shape of the pearls is round to slightly baroque, the luster is good to very good. The pearls show slight signs of growth, which characterize them as a natural product. The understated silver clasp comes from the J. Köhle manufactory in Pforzheim. The clasp is designed in the shape of a stylized flower and is set with another pearl. We date the necklace, which is a so-called matinée necklace with a length of 52 cm, to around 1970. We have restrung and knotted the pearls so that they can be put on directly.
