For centuries, the pearl has been considered the epitome of beauty, but for a long time it remained an almost unattainable luxury. It was only in Japan, at the beginning of the 20th century, that Kokishi Mikimoto made the groundbreaking discovery of pearl cultivation: With patience, care and a deep understanding of the sea, he discovered a way not to leave the mysterious creation of the pearl to nature alone. But even with this knowledge, cultivation remains a laborious and lengthy process to this day. Many years pass before a pearl of flawless luster and perfect shape develops in the shell - and only a small fraction reaches the size and beauty that signifies true rarity. This necklace is an impressive demonstration of how extraordinary the results of pearl cultivation can be: 45 saltwater cultured pearls with an impressive diameter of 9,0 mm are strung together over a length of around 50 cm. Their silky luster, the luminous white with a slight pink overlay and the homogeneous shape radiate a presence that is rarely achieved in the world of cultured pearls. The necklace is held in place by an elegant clasp made from 585 gold, crafted by the renowned clasp manufacturer Koehle. We have had the necklace re-knotted so that it can be worn immediately. Created around 1990, this piece of jewellery bears the history of Japanese pearl cultivation - a silent testimony to the patience and dedication it takes to produce such treasures. The necklace came to us here in Berlin.
