Product Description
MIKIMOTO
Mikimoto
This is a classic Mikimoto graduated pearl necklace.
Graduated pearl necklaces became extremely popular around the time of Empress Michiko's marriage in the 1950s. This piece also dates from the 1950s to 1960s, a period when the pearl industry was at its most prosperous.
Graduated necklaces are rarely made today due to the intricate craftsmanship involved, and they are extremely rare and valuable, seldom appearing even in professional markets.
The Akoya pearls range from 5.5mm to 6.0mm in size, with a gentle graduation from the clasp towards the center. They exhibit a soft luster with a delicate creamy hue and subtle pink overtones.
The clasp is made of engraved 14K gold, adding to its elegant appeal.
The pearls have been cleaned and the clasp polished.
