Today, it seems perfectly natural to us that a pearl necklace is part of one’s jewelry collection—but before cultured pearls became widely available, divers had to search for each individual pearl one by one. Not only did only a few oysters contain the sought-after treasure, but even fewer of these pearls matched in shape, size, and colour. This so-called “matching” process could often take years. “It often takes a long time to collect enough pearls before one can assemble a necklace of uniform pearls. For example, it took five years before the beautiful pearl necklace that Emperor Frederick, as crown prince, presented to his young wife as a wedding gift was completed,” noted the Berlin women’s magazine Der Bazar in 1894. Genuine pearl necklaces were therefore always carefully guarded treasures that were by no means to be found in every jewelry box. Here is one such necklace made of genuine natural pearls. Each of these natural saltwater pearls required a dive into the ocean, mostly in the Persian Gulf. They have been beautifully selected in size and colour, ranging from silky white to delicate cream tones. Together, they form a princess-length necklace: a classic length—neither too long nor too close to the neck—that is also wonderful to wear in everyday life. They are held in place by a luxurious clasp set with diamonds in high-karat white gold, featuring the characteristic Art Deco designs. The necklace comes with an independent appraisal of the pearls. It is in very good condition.
