Vintage Triple Strand Pearl Necklace 9ct Gold Diamond Clasp Birmingham 1959

1940 - 1960
Description

Vintage Triple Strand Pearl Necklace with Diamond Clasp, Birmingham 1959

A beautifully elegant vintage triple-strand cultured pearl necklace, completed by a charming diamond-set 9ct white gold clasp and fully hallmarked for Birmingham 1959

The necklace comprises three softly graduated strands of beautifully matched cultured pearls. Their creamy ivory colour, delicate pink overtones and attractive lustre give the necklace a wonderfully flattering appearance, while the graduated strands fall gracefully around the neckline.

The pearls graduate from approximately 3.8mm to 7.6mm, with the three strands measuring 15", 16¼" and 17½". This carefully balanced arrangement creates a lovely layered effect without feeling heavy or overly formal.

The necklace is completed by an elegant navette-shaped clasp crafted in 9ct white gold. Inspired by the geometric designs of the Art Deco period, the clasp is centred with a 3.5mm diamond and further decorated with eight smaller diamonds. Geometric diamond-shaped sections and delicate millegrain detailing give the clasp an intricate, jewel-like quality.

The clasp is fully hallmarked for Birmingham 1959 and bears the maker's initials JR, providing the necklace with an exact date and an appealing connection to post-war British jewellery design.

Recently professionally restrung in June 2026, the necklace is ready to wear and is in excellent condition.

A timeless and versatile piece of vintage jewellery, equally beautiful worn with a simple dress or as an elegant finishing touch for a more formal occasion.

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.
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.
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.

Mid-century triple strand pearl necklaces typically feature three layered concentric rows of cultured pearls connected to a single detailed clasp. Popularised in the 1950s, these necklaces were designed to rest neatly along the collarbone, often using clasps decorated with precious metals and gemstones.

Vintage pearl necklaces commonly feature cultured saltwater or freshwater pearls strung on natural silk thread. The fastenings are typically constructed from precious metals such as 9ct or 18ct gold, silver, or platinum, often set with small diamonds or gemstones.

Authenticity can be verified by examining British hallmarks stamped on the clasp, which detail the metal purity, assay office, and year of manufacture. Additionally, natural or cultured pearls exhibit subtle variations in shape, weight, and surface lustre compared to smooth, uniform synthetic imitations.

A multi-strand pearl necklace can be styled with formal evening wear or paired with modern minimalist tailoring such as modern blazers and open collars. The layered design creates a defined focal point across the neckline.

Pearls should be stored flat in a soft cloth pouch away from direct sunlight and hard gemstones that could scratch the surface. They should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth after wear and kept clear of perfumes, cosmetics, and harsh chemicals.
