One-of-a-Kind Handmade Sterling Silver and Freshwater Pearl Necklace

About the Item

A striking statement necklace featuring antique Etruscan-style filigree beads in sterling silver, interspersed with strands of freshwater cultured pearls. This necklace showcases a harmonious blend of ancient silversmithing techniques with the timeless beauty of pearls. The sterling silver beads, most likely crafted by Yemeni silversmiths, exhibit exceptional craftsmanship, with intricate handmade filigree detailing and fine workmanship. The pearls add an elegant contrast, complementing the rich textures of the silver. This necklace was reconstructed in the late 20th century, utilizing antique silver beads to create a contemporary piece with historical charm. The necklace is signed, with the silver tested to confirm a minimum of 900 purity. It is finished with a simple yet secure "J" hook and "O" ring clasp for easy wear. Markings: Signed silver, acid-tested for at least 900 silver Period: Late 20th century (reconstructed using older/antique beads) Material: Sterling silver freshwater cultured pearls Clasp: Secure "J" hook and "O" ring clasp Dimensions: Total Length: 19 inches Maximum Width at Center: 1 inch Largest Silver Bead: 5/8 inch in diameter Weight: 127 grams Condition: In good vintage condition with a beautiful, heavy age patina that enhances the character of the silver. There is no visible damage or repair to the silver beads, and the clasp is in perfect working order, ensuring secure wear. This one-of-a-kind necklace beautifully combines the timeless elegance of Etruscan-inspired silversmithing with the classic sophistication of pearls, making it a unique and memorable addition to any jewelry collection. Its intricate details and bold design make it a true statement piece.
