Among jewels, the pearl has a very special status, since it is not a mineral. Unlike gemstones, it does not have to be cut, but is found in the form in which it is then used in jewellery. Thus, until the early modern era, many myths entwined around its origin: "Of the origin and growth of these pearls are various myths among scholars / in that many hold with the old Plinio before / they would from the Thau / so in the opening shells drip / generiret" (Museum Museorum Valentini 1704, quoted from Liselotte Hansmann / Lenz Kriss-Rettenbeck: Amulett und Talisman. Erscheinungsform und Geschichte, Munich 1966, p. 110). It was not until the end of the 19th century that people found out how the pearl was really created and were thus able to begin cultivating pearls. Then, from the 1920s, the cultured pearl necklace conquered the jewellery market. The present necklace made of light cream coloured cultured pearls is also due to this development. With a wearing length of about 67.0 cm, the necklace is between the matinee and opera length. Both lengths are often worn on festive occasions; the former during the day, the latter in the evening. What the lengths also have in common is that even in the 19th century, one would have had to collect for a long time before a beautifully matched necklace would have been created! A decorative clasp holds the necklace together at the nape of the neck, and can also be worn as an eye-catcher in front or on the side. It is made of white gold in an abstract flower shape with a partial satin finish. Another pearl and blue sapphires complete the cool colour tone. The classic pearl necklace was created in the years around 1970, as the design of the clasp reveals. A classic piece of jewellery that can accompany them with its versatile length from brunch to the opera!
