South Sea pearls, or more precisely South Sea cultured pearls, are one of the more recent developments in pearl cultivation. For a long time, Akoya pearls cultured in Japan were considered almost unrivaled and were the only cultured pearls that could compete with natural pearls in terms of luster and quality. It was not until the late 1970s that large, high-quality pearls were successfully cultivated south of Japan. Japanese specialists transferred their knowledge to Pinctada Maxima, a species of mussel that had previously hardly been used and which can produce exceptionally large pearls. Thus the South Sea pearl was born. This necklace, dating from around 2000, also lives entirely from the beauty of these special pearls. A total of 33 large South Sea pearls with a soft golden lustre are individually knotted and strung together in a graduated pattern. The pearls show slight natural surface features and an almost perfectly round shape. The 42-centimeter-long necklace is held in place by a so-called interchangeable clasp in the shape of a golden ball. Small diamonds of different sizes cover its surface and make it look almost like a small starry sky. This clasp can be opened on both sides and can also be exchanged for another clasp of the same system, depending on taste. The necklace is in very good condition and still has the classic yet impressive elegance that makes large South Sea pearls so desirable.
