The 50 cm long pearl necklace presented here is a classic matinée necklace. A matinée (French: "matinée" = morning) is an event in the morning or early afternoon with a cultural claim: Thus, the name can denote, for example, a vernissage, a concert or a theater performance. In contrast to the soirée, which takes place in the evening, a different dress code is required here: the wardrobe should be elegant, but less formal than that for the evening. For such an event, or for other daytime occasions, this pearl necklace can always be worn, because its medium length never makes it look overdressed. Here are 61 white, slightly baroque cultured pearls that are distinguished by their delicate luster and are individually knotted. A beautiful clasp made of white gold and another pearl completes the piece. Its elongated shape with millegrain and sawn joints is still very much in the Art Deco tradition.
