Natural Saltwater Pearl Necklace with Rose-Cut Diamond Barrel Clasp, Circa 1890
6822
A refined late 19th-century single-strand necklace of natural saltwater pearls, dating to circa 1890. Composed of 134 delicately graduated pearls, ranging from approximately 2.1 to 4.7 mm in diameter, the strand has a beautifully subtle progression in scale that creates an exceptionally elegant line at the neck.
The pearls are complemented by a rose-cut diamond barrel clasp, whose softly sparkling, hand-cut diamond facets provide a fittingly discreet and luxurious finish. Together, the natural lustre of the pearls and the gentle shimmer of the diamond clasp capture the restrained elegance associated with fine jewellery of the period.
Measuring 48 cm in length, the necklace is both graceful and highly wearable. Its single strand and careful graduation make it a timeless piece, equally suited to formal occasions or as an important addition to a collection of antique jewellery.
Natural saltwater pearls are increasingly prized for their rarity and individuality. This necklace is accompanied by a full Gemmological Certification Services analysis and certificate, confirming the pearls as natural saltwater examples.
