The Chelsea Bijouterie Ltd has dated this Double Strand Pearl Necklace to the 1950s.
The necklace is composed of generously sized cultured pearls, graduating from approximately 8.2mm to an impressive 10.7mm. Their soft creamy ivory colour and attractive lustre give the necklace a rich, wonderfully flattering appearance, while the two graduated strands sit gracefully around the neckline.
The substantial clasp is particularly beautiful. Designed as an elegant arrangement of overlapping leaves and sweeping curves, it is centred with a cultured pearl measuring approximately 5.2mm and set with approximately 30 sparkling diamonds. Delicate millegrain detailing enhances the design and gives the clasp the refined character associated with fine mid-century jewellery.
The clasp is attractive enough to be worn prominently at the front or slightly to one side, transforming it into an important decorative feature rather than simply a fastening.
Recently professionally restrung in July 2026, the pearls are individually hand-knotted in the traditional manner. Weighing an impressive 98 grams, this is a substantial and luxurious vintage pearl necklace with exceptional presence when worn.
A timeless statement necklace, equally suited to an elegant evening occasion, wedding or beautifully tailored daytime outfit.
