This exceptionally long pearl necklace came to us from Hanover, and it features a striking play of colours and materials that transports us back to the 1980s. A total of 85 white Akoya pearls, each about 7.2 mm in diameter, form the brightly shimmering foundation of this piece of jewellery. Smaller gray cultured pearls interspersed among them, along with beads of deep-blue lapis lazuli, metallic-sheen hematite, and black onyx, divide the necklace into sections that shift dynamically. The striking contrast between the gentle luster of the pearls, the intense blue of the lapis lazuli, and the cool, dark surfaces of hematite and onyx reflects the self-assured approach to jewelry design of the 1980s. During this period, the traditional pearl necklace was increasingly freed from its conventional context and reinterpreted with colored gemstones and unusual material combinations. The decorative effect thus arises primarily from the interplay of colour, luster, and beads of varying sizes. With a length of approximately 110 cm, the necklace can be worn generously, wrapped around the neck several times, or tied casually.
