The greatest treasure and the finest gift of the sea is the pearl. Formed over many years by the toil of the shell, it delights us with its luster and soft hue. In the years around 1900, real pearls, which mostly came from the Persian Gulf, were still valued at gold - and it often took years to collect a single strand of matching pearls. It was only after the process of pearl cultivation was successfully commercialized in Japan in the 1920s that necklaces like this one became the luxurious classics they are today. This magnificent necklace strings together four strands of warm white Akoya pearls. The pearls, which are high-quality saltwater cultured pearls, are all very uniform in color and shape and show only a few to very few growth marks on the surface. The luster is good, in some cases very good, and the pearls have a delicate pink overlay. A gold clasp from the Koehle company holds the strands of pearls together at the nape of the neck. The clasp is designed as a pearl-studded shuttle - simple, elegant and modernist. The necklace is worn close to the neck and the pearls, which are strung in a knot, fall softly into the décolleté. This wonderful piece of jewelry has survived the years since its creation very well, it has obviously been worn very little and has always been well cared for. As a timeless classic, it can stand above all coming fashions. It came to us here in Berlin.
