About the Item
Mid-Century South Sea cultured pearl and diamond clasp necklace in yellow gold, 1950s/1960s.
An exceptional Mid-Century necklace comprising 98 South Sea cultured pearls arranged in three elegant strands. The pearls, varying in shape and size, exude a soft organic luster that ranges from white to cream, exemplifying the beauty of South Sea saltwater pearls. Securing the strands is a stunning openwork barrel-shaped clasp crafted in yellow gold. This intricately designed clasp features a twisted motif, fully set with 117 round brilliant-cut diamonds that add a touch of refined brilliance.
The pearls’ gentle radiance is perfectly balanced by the sparkle of the meticulously set diamonds, making the clasp both functional and decorative. This harmonious interplay between materials reflects the artistry and sophistication of 1950s-1960s jewelry design, offering a quintessential statement piece for collectors of fine Mid-Century treasures.
This necklace epitomizes timeless elegance, seamlessly blending the natural allure of South Sea pearls with the brilliance of diamonds. The diamond-encrusted clasp is a sophisticated focal point, underscoring the necklace’s luxurious appeal. Perfect for special occasions or as a cherished addition to a distinguished jewelry collection.
