It was a great sensation when the Japanese entrepreneur Mikimoto succeeded in cultivating saltwater pearls on a large scale in the early 1920s. Until then, pearl necklaces had to be made from naturally grown pearls, which were about as expensive as diamonds of the same size. It was the invention of the cultured pearl that made pearl jewelry affordable for a wider audience and triggered a great fashion that has lasted to this day. Because: pearls always adorn! These Japanese cultured pearls have also come together here to form a necklace in the classic "chute necklace" shape. This type is characterized by a length of approx. 46 cm and the typical gradient shape. The largest pearl is located at the bottom in the middle and from there the pearls become smaller and smaller on both sides and towards the top. This is also alluded to by their name, which is derived from the French "chuter" = to fall off, to fall down. The pearls in this necklace range from 3.8 mm to 8.3 mm in diameter. Their quality is very good, the color is excellently matched and the pearls are round and have a very even surface. We have had the pearls restrung so that they can be worn without any worries. The white gold clasp is set with five natural sapphires. The necklace came to us here in Berlin.
