This 1920s single strand necklace comprises seventy-five cultured cream-coloured pearls with yellow and pink overtones, individually hand-knotted on silk. The strand measures 60 cm in length, with pearls ranging between 8.5 mm and 6 mm in diameter. Typical surface blemishes and a cracked nacre on the pearl positioned by the clasp are present. A central navette-shaped clasp secures the piece, set with three old cut diamonds in a 9ct gold mount. The push clasp measures 12 mm across, holding a central diamond of 4 mm and two outer diamonds of 2.5 mm. The total diamond weight is approximately 0.40 carat, accompanied by platinum work on the clasp hardware.

FAQs

During the 1920s, single and multi-strand pearl necklaces became hallmark accessories of Art Deco fashion. They were frequently paired with decorative metal clasps set with gemstones or old-cut diamonds.

Antique pearl strands traditionally feature natural or cultured pearls strung on silk thread with hand-knotted spacers. Clasps are typically constructed from white gold, yellow gold, or platinum, decorated with old European or mine-cut diamonds.

Authentic pieces from this period feature period-correct clasps with old-cut diamonds or geometric metalwork. Individually knotted silk threading and subtle natural surface variations on the pearls are also indicators of age and construction.

An antique pearl necklace can be worn with contemporary evening wear or structured tailoring. Pairing classic pearls with modern necklines creates a balanced, refined aesthetic.

Pearls should be wiped gently with a soft, damp cloth after wear and kept away from cosmetics, perfumes, and hairsprays. Store them flat in a soft-lined jewellery box to prevent stretching the silk thread.
