Art Deco Freshwater Pearl Strand with Diamond Clasp, Circa 1920
6823
A graceful single strand of 93 graduated freshwater pearls, completed with an elegant platinum clasp set with five diamonds, dating to circa 1920. Measuring 52 cm in length, the necklace is beautifully proportioned to sit at a versatile and flattering length.
The pearls progress gently from approximately 5 mm to 8 mm in diameter, creating a refined graduation that draws the eye towards the centre of the strand. Their soft, natural lustre and subtly varied character give the necklace a warmth and individuality that is especially appealing in freshwater pearls.
The platinum clasp is set with five diamonds, adding a discreet note of early 20th-century sparkle. Its cool white metal and diamond detail provide a sophisticated contrast to the gentle glow of the pearls, while the clasp itself can be worn at the back for a classic look or turned to the front or side as a subtle decorative feature.
Dating from the circa 1920 period, this necklace has the timeless elegance associated with Art Deco-era jewellery: restrained, beautifully balanced, and effortlessly wearable. It would complement both contemporary and formal dress, whether worn alone for quiet refinement or layered with other chains and pearls.
A charming and versatile antique pearl necklace, combining the enduring appeal of graduated freshwater pearls with a finely detailed platinum and diamond clasp.
