About the Item

A refined Art Deco Opera length pearl necklace of elegant proportion, composed of finely graduated cultured Akoya pearls displaying a soft cream body colour with delicate pink overtones and a pleasing, even lustre. The strand transitions seamlessly from approximately 4.5mm to 9mm, creating a balanced and fluid line that sits beautifully whether worn long or doubled. At its centre rests an original geometric clasp in platinum, set with old-cut diamonds arranged in a classic Deco panel design, contributing approximately 0.42 carats in total. The clasp offers a subtle yet distinctive focal point, characteristic of the period’s restrained sophistication. Measuring approximately 83.5cm in full end to end length, the necklace may be worn as a long sautoir or could be doubled to a shorter line showing the clasp as a choker and then the rest of the pearls under it, offering versatility suited to both day and evening wear. A well-preserved example, the pearls remain well matched with gentle natural variation consistent with age, and the clasp retains crisp detail with bright, lively stones. ⸻ Details * Period: Art Deco, circa 1920–1930 * Origin: Likely European (French or English) * Materials: Cultured Akoya pearls; platinum; old-cut diamonds * Diamond weight: Approximately 0.42 carats total (EST VS-VVS2 Clarity, H-J Colour) * Pearl size: Graduated from approx. 4.5mm to 9mm * Length: 83.5cm (wearable as ~40cm) * Weight: 44 grams * Condition: Good Antique condition, light age-related wear Condition & Authenticity Each piece has been carefully inspected and is presented in very good condition, with wear consistent with its age and use.
