Vintage Long Pearl Necklace, Hand Knotted Cultured Pearls, 9ct Gold Clasp London 1969

1940 - 1960
Description

A beautifully elegant long pearl necklace, dating from 1969 and embodying the timeless refinement of mid-20th century jewellery. Composed of a single strand of lustrous cultured pearls, each individually hand-knotted, this piece offers both grace and enduring quality.

The pearls display a soft creamy ivory tone with a gentle, even glow across the strand. Their consistent size and harmonious colouring create a wonderfully balanced appearance, while the traditional knotting enhances both security and fluid drape.

Completing the necklace is a finely crafted 9ct gold clasp, delicately set with three small pearls. This thoughtful detail allows the clasp to be worn discreetly at the back or styled to the side or front as an elegant focal point.

A classic and versatile piece, equally suited to formal wear or adding quiet sophistication to everyday attire.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Cultured pearls are formed when a mollusc is intentionally nucleated with an irritant to prompt nacre secretion. Popularised in the early twentieth century, these strands became staple elements in mid-century fine jewellery.

Fine vintage pearl strands feature silk thread hand-knotted between each pearl to prevent surface friction and loss if broken. Fastenings are typically constructed from precious metals such as 9ct or 18ct yellow gold.

Authentic mid-century pieces often feature official British hallmarks stamped on the clasp, detailing gold purity, town marks, and date letters. Additional indicators include hand-knotted threading and distinct surface nacre depth.

A classic pearl strand offers versatility, worn single-length over tailored knitwear or doubled for a multi-strand appearance. Cream and white pearl tones pair equally well with formal evening attire and contemporary tailoring.

Pearls should be wiped gentle with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear to remove natural skin oils, avoiding chemical cleaners and water immersion. Store strands flat in a velvet-lined pouch away from direct heat and cosmetics.
