Few pieces of jewellery are as timeless as a classic pearl necklace. This piece, dating from around 1970, is made of fine Akoya cultured pearls, which are distinguished by their round shape and beautiful luster. Akoya pearls are saltwater cultured pearls from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata and are traditionally cultivated primarily in Japan. They are characterized by their mostly white to cream-colored tones, which may be accompanied by delicate rose-colored or silvery overtones. Our necklace features a classic “en chute” design (French for “sloping” or “graduated”). Starting from the largest pearls in the center, their diameter decreases evenly on both sides. This subtle gradation gives the necklace a particularly harmonious graduated look while also emphasizing its center. The careful selection of individual pearls based on size, shape, colour, and luster is an essential hallmark of quality in a good pearl necklace. With its classic princess length of about 45 cm, the necklace rests beautifully on the neck and follows the collarbone in a gentle curve. It is precisely this length that has made the single-strand pearl necklace one of the most versatile pieces of jewellery of the 20th century—understated enough for daytime wear and yet elegant enough for evening wear. It is fastened by a white gold clasp in the shape of a stylized flower, the center of which is set with another pearl. An elegant piece of jewellery that is effortless to wear and style, and which, even more than half a century after its creation, has lost none of its appeal.
