Art Deco Graduated Akoya Pearl Necklace with Diamond Platinum Clasp, circa 1925
About the Item
A refined Art Deco Opera length pearl necklace of elegant proportion, composed of finely graduated cultured Akoya pearls displaying a soft cream body colour with delicate pink overtones and a pleasing, even lustre.
The strand transitions seamlessly from approximately 4.5mm to 9mm, creating a balanced and fluid line that sits beautifully whether worn long or doubled. At its centre rests an original geometric clasp in platinum, set with old-cut diamonds arranged in a classic Deco panel design, contributing approximately 0.42 carats in total. The clasp offers a subtle yet distinctive focal point, characteristic of the period’s restrained sophistication.
Measuring approximately 83.5cm in full end to end length, the necklace may be worn as a long sautoir or could be doubled to a shorter line showing the clasp as a choker and then the rest of the pearls under it, offering versatility suited to both day and evening wear.
A well-preserved example, the pearls remain well matched with gentle natural variation consistent with age, and the clasp retains crisp detail with bright, lively stones.
