A lovely vintage strand of white cultured pearls, knotted on silk cord with a yellow gold clasp. These pearls are a terrific size and have a wonderful cool hue; a color that might be described as “icy,” with slightly iridescent overtones. Well-matched in both size and color, with a white body color, good luster and blue/silver overtones. Knotted on matching cream colored silk cord and finished with a 14 karat yellow gold fishhook clasp. Prior to the advent of the pearl culturing industry in the early 20th century, pearls were the rarest and most highly valued gem on earth - hundreds of years ago, they were considered more precious than diamonds! A pearl necklace remains a perfect staple piece for every jewelry collection.
