This is a lovely art deco graduated strand of authentic Japanese saltwater akoya cultured pearls.
The pearls range from 4.75-6.25mm and have great luster with very few light blemishes and rosy pink overtones. They are a cream color. Most are round but a few are slightly off round.
Clasp is in solid sterling silver with an art deco design with hand engraving and milgrain. It is stamped "SILVER" which is an older mark for sterling. Total length is 25.50 inch. From 1930's-1950's.
All pearls are truly vintage and have only been lightly cleaned and restrung.
