About the Item
The length of the necklace is 29 inches (74mm).
The irregular shape of baroque pearls varies from 14 to 16mm.
The size of the Biwa pearls varies from 30 to 37mm.
The color of the pearls is silver-grey with strong, bright, and clear luster and natural shine, almost like the light is coming from within when light hits them.
Baroque Pearls – These pearls are shaped like slightly elongated spheres with uneven surfaces.
Biwa pearls are freshwater pearls that are naturally found in Biwa pearl mussels. This species of mussels grows in Lake Biwa, near the city of Kyoto on the Honshu island of Japan. Lake Biwa is the largest and most ancient lake in all of Japan.
The necklace is adorable!
This necklace is vintage approx. 1920-1930. Now, such pearls are not produced.
You won’t come across a lot of Biwa pearls today, and if you do, chances are they’re just stick-shaped freshwater pearls from China. You may find original Biwa pearls in antique or estate stores if you’re lucky.
