A classic pearl necklace made of 58 fine Japanese Akoya cultured pearls we see here. The pearls of the necklace are uniformly large and of good quality. They show few to distinct growth characteristics and are of very uniform creamy white color. Their luster is good and shimmers softly. A flower-shaped clasp made of white gold holds the pearls securely. It features a setting of seven red rubies. Its design with its powerful texture lets and date the necklace to the 1970s. Did you know that a "language of gemstones" developed around the 19th century that gave contextual meaning to each luxurious material? This science, called "gem lore" in Victorian England, associated pearls with Venus, the ancient goddess of love. For just as the pearl springs from the shell, so Venus is said to have been born from a shell. The most famous depiction of this scene is by Sandro Botticelli. Less surprising, perhaps, is that rubies, as red gemstones, are also associated with love. So the classic pearl necklace that found its way to us here in Berlin makes a lovely love gift!
