Art Deco Double Strand Pearl Necklace with Sapphire Diamond 18ct White Gold Clasp,1920s Certified Pearls, Restrung

1900 - 1920
Description

Art Deco Double Strand Cultured Pearl Necklace with Sapphire & Diamond 18ct White Gold Clasp – Certified

A striking double-strand cultured pearl necklace, finished with a particularly fine original Art Deco sapphire and diamond clasp dating from the 1920s–30s.

The necklace comprises 89 near-round saltwater cultured pearls, arranged over two graduated-length strands. The pearls have a beautiful soft cream colour, complemented by delicate pink and green overtones and very good lustre.

Recently restrung in August 2026, each pearl is individually hand-knotted. The two strands sit gracefully around the base of the neck, while the decorative clasp is designed to be worn visibly to one side.

The square 18 carat white gold clasp is centred with an old cushion-cut natural sapphire, surrounded by two geometric rows of old-cut natural diamonds. The diamonds are estimated to weigh approximately 1.00 carat in total and display an attractive bright white appearance, assessed as approximately G/H colour and VS1 clarity. Fine millegrain borders complete the quintessentially Art Deco design.

The necklace is accompanied by a Birmingham Assay Office Pearl Jewellery Report, dated 3 September 2026, confirming the cultured saltwater pearls, one natural sapphire and 30 natural diamonds.

A refined and timeless necklace combining the understated beauty of lustrous pearls with an exceptionally attractive original Art Deco jewel.

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.

Art Deco pearl jewellery from the 1920s is characterised by geometric design elements, clean lines, and high-contrast gemstone pairings. Clasps were often treated as focal decorative centrepieces, crafted in white gold or platinum and accented with diamonds and coloured precious stones such as sapphires.

Pieces from this period frequently feature natural or early cultured salt-water pearls strung on silk thread. Clasps were traditionally rendered in 18ct white gold or platinum, adorned with diamonds and step-cut or cabochon coloured gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, or rubies.

Authentic period necklaces often feature geometric rectangular or square clasps with hand-set diamonds and gemstones, alongside precious metal hallmarks such as 18ct or platinum stamps. Original thread may show age-related wear, and genuine pearls will exhibit subtle natural surface variations under magnification.

A double strand pearl necklace can be paired with modern eveningwear or layered over tailored silk shirts for contemporary daywear. Placing the decorative geometric clasp slightly off-centre adds an asymmetry favoured in contemporary styling.

Pearls should be kept away from hairspray, perfume, and harsh chemicals, and wiped with a soft, damp cloth after wearing. Period necklaces should be stored flat in a fabric-lined box to prevent thread stretch and restrung every few years if worn regularly.
