Classic Pearl Necklace New
About the Item
This classic 19" pearl necklace is composed of 50 cultured freshwater pearls from China that range in size from 8.5mm to 10mm, with most being 9mm or larger. The pearls have been hand-strung on thick, sturdy white silk and knotted between each pearl. Instead of being strung from smallest to largest, the pearls were selected at random. This has the effect of creating a necklace that appears uniform in size overall. It is finished with a rhodium-plated silver clasp.
The pearls are round to near-round and have thick, luxurious nacre. Chinese freshwater pearls now rival Japanese cultured Akoya pearls for quality -and in some cases, far surpass them. These pearls are silvery-white with no overtone. But because the nacre is so thick, they display the phenomenon known as orient -the prismatic display of light that seems to slide across the pearl.
This is a classic pearl necklace you can wear with jeans or a gown. The pearls are large so the necklace won't get lost. If they were Akoya pearls, the price would be many thousands of dollars because Akoya pearls of this size are exceedingly rare. At 52 grams, it's a satisfyingly weighty necklace.

- Double Strand Akoya Pearl Necklace, GermanyLocated in Southbury, CTA double strand of huge, luxurious warm-toned cultured Akoya pearls -what a treasure! The most classic, timeless necklace there is: a double strand of large and fine cultured Akoya pearls in golden cream with a soft pink overtone. Akoya cultured pearls 8mm in diameter and larger are uncommon, which is why 8mm represents the dividing line between ordinary Akoya pearls and "luxury-sized" Akoya pearls. This vintage necklace features 87 pearls in two strands and the pearls measure between approximately 8.35mm to 8.93mm. The length of the inner strand is 15" while the outer strand is about an inch longer. So it wears like a 15 ½ necklace, sitting right over the hollow of your neck. The 9K yellow gold clasp is marked for J. Köhle, a German jewelry manufacturer in business since 1872. This is a weighty necklace, tipping the scales at just over 80 grams. That's a lot of weight for a 15 ½ inch necklace...Category
