31" Strand of Glossy Cultured Pearls with Gold Clasp

This nice, long strand of glossy cultured pearls makes an elegant statement. The well-matched white pearls are hand-knotted on white silk and finished with a 14k gold filigree bead clasp. Definitely clutch-worthy. Circa 1950. Cultured pearls are created by adding an irritant, such as a grain of sand or small bead, to a pearl oyster to encourage it to cover the irritant in nacre, thus creating a pearl. Details: The necklace is 31" long, and the pearls measure 7mm in diameter. In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels; we consider it a part of the charm. Item #N8852
