Edwardian Pearl, Sapphire & Diamond Necklace, Circa 1910
6872
A superb single strand of 104 graduated cultured seawater pearls, completed by an elegant platinum and gold clasp set with a sapphire and diamonds, circa 1910. With its exceptional length, soft natural lustre, and refined early 20th-century setting, this is a timeless jewel of quiet sophistication.
The strand is composed of carefully selected pearls graduating in size along its length, creating a graceful, balanced fall when worn. Their subtle variation in tone and gentle iridescence give the necklace a beautifully organic quality, while the generous number of pearls makes for a particularly impressive and versatile piece.
At the centre, the platinum and gold clasp provides a restrained but luxurious contrast. It is set with a sapphire of rich blue colour, surrounded or accented by sparkling diamonds, lending a discreet flash of colour and brilliance to the otherwise classically monochrome design. The use of platinum alongside gold is characteristic of fine jewellery from the Edwardian period, when delicate, light-reflecting settings and refined gem combinations were especially favoured.
Dating to circa 1910, this necklace reflects the elegance of the Edwardian era while remaining effortlessly wearable today. It would make a distinguished addition to an antique jewellery collection, a beautiful bridal jewel, or a sophisticated accessory for formal occasions.
