Vintage Biwa Pearl and Baroque Pearl Necklace
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.

Noblesse Oblige Studio
Noblesse Oblige specializes in fine jewelry and vintage art. We combine rare semi-precious stones, corals, and pearls with gold and silver to make unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. We abide by the classics in jewelry, but the search for new ideas in jewelry design is ongoing, as well as a careful selection of stones is continually being made and carried out.
The manufacture of jewelry made from natural stones has its own subtleties associated primarily with the selection of gems. The gems in the products should be ideally matched in terms of shade, cut quality, and size. In all our jewelry items, we strive to emphasize the natural beauty of the stone, using gold and silver only as a light accent, as an organic addition to the magical internal appeal of the gem. We offer the best collection of vintage beads. Turquoise, corals, garnets, amethysts, lapis lazuli, jades, and other unique gems acquire a variety of shapes and shapes and are impeccable in their radiance and brilliance. We specialize in rare vintage clasps and simply classic antique jewelry.
Each Noblesse Oblige Studio jewelry is hand-made with love. We use solely natural materials. Every piece of our jewelry reflects a unique time and place in the collective consciousness of mankind.
