A treasure from the depths of the sea - In many cultures around the world, the pearl carries a profound symbolism. In China it stands for wealth, wisdom and dignity, in Japan it is considered a lucky charm, and in India it symbolizes the blessing of numerous descendants. Even in ancient times, pearls were valued pieces of jewelry: The Greeks called them "margarita" - a term that also stood for the beloved and has survived to this day in the name Margaretha. Pearl necklaces are available in a wide variety of lengths and are therefore versatile. Whether sporty or elegant - a pearl necklace adds a special touch to any outfit. The classic "choker" (35-40 cm) is recommended for everyday wear or the office. The slightly longer "matinée necklace" (50-60 cm) is suitable for festive outfits, while the elegant "opera length" (70-90 cm), worn single or double, is a stylish eye-catcher for evening wear or a grand ball. This necklace consists of 106 shimmering saltwater cultured pearls, so-called Akoya pearls from Japan. The pearls are all very round and uniform in size, their color is a uniform, slightly warm white. The surface of the pearls shows only few to medium growth characteristics. As pearls with very good and medium lustre are combined with slightly pink and slightly green overlay, the necklace has a charming vibrancy and is never boring. The hand-forged white gold clasp is typical of the German post-war period and is set with a green tourmaline and two fine diamonds. With a length of 87.5 cm, this necklace belongs to the "opera length" - a classic choice for a visit to the opera, but also suitable for many other festive occasions. This precious piece came to us here in Berlin.
