Today, it seems natural to us that a pearl necklace is part of our jewellery wardrobe - but before the cultured pearl was widely available, it was still necessary to dive for each pearl individually. Not only did only a few shells contain the treasure they were looking for, even fewer of these pearls matched in shape, size and colour. The so-called "matching" could often take years. "It often takes a long time of collecting before uniform pearls are matched to form a necklace. For example, it took five years before the beautiful pearl necklace that Emperor Frederick, as crown prince, presented to his young wife as a wedding gift was completed," noted the Berlin illustrated magazine "Der Bazar" in 1894. Genuine pearl necklaces were therefore carefully guarded treasures that were by no means to be found in every jewellery box. Here, however, is such an antique natural pearl necklace. After each of the natural salt water pearls had to be dived in the ocean, probably in the Persian Gulf. They are beautifully selected in size and their delicate cream colour. The necklace is worn close to the neck and has a length of 44.5 cm. Graduated, the largest pearl sits centered on the sternum. Towards the neck, the pearls become as delicate and fine as modern cultured pearl necklaces are not known to be. A clasp set with diamonds and natural sapphires holds the necklace decoratively and discreetly that the piece of jewellery is also suitable for updos. We have had the necklace reknotted and have had an independent appraisal done confirming the natural origin of the orient pearls. It comes with the necklace that we discovered in Paris.
