Vintage Double Strand Cultured Pearl Necklace 9ct Gold Pearl Clasp Birmingham 1969

1940 - 1960
Description

A beautifully elegant double strand cultured pearl necklace, dating to 1969 and finished with a charming pearl-set 9ct gold cluster clasp.

The necklace comprises two graduated rows of individually hand-knotted cultured pearls in a soft ivory cream colour, displaying an excellent lustre and a smooth, evenly matched appearance.

The two strands sit gracefully together around the neckline, creating the wonderfully classic layered look associated with fine mid-century pearl jewellery.

The necklace is completed by a particularly attractive flower-shaped pearl cluster clasp, formed from cultured pearls mounted in 9ct gold. The clasp can be positioned traditionally at the back or worn slightly to the side as a decorative feature.

Fully hallmarked Birmingham 1969, with maker's initials TJ, the clasp fastens securely with a box push-hook fitting.

At 64 grams, this is a substantial and luxurious pearl necklace, yet it remains wonderfully wearable and elegant.

This vintage 1960s double-strand cultured pearl necklace dates to 1969 and originates from Birmingham. The piece consists of two graduated rows of individually hand-knotted cultured pearls in an ivory cream colour, finished with a smooth, evenly matched appearance and an excellent lustre. The hardware includes a flower-shaped pearl cluster clasp formed from cultured pearls mounted in 9ct yellow gold, complete with maker's initials TJ and fully marked hallmarks. Additional details visible on the piece include a box push-hook fastening and a multi-stranded layout measuring 46 cm in length with pearls sized at 7.5 mm. In a contemporary home, the necklace functions as a wearable piece of fine jewellery designed for formal wear, evening events, and special occasions. The versatile clasp design permits placement at the back or rotated to the side as a decorative feature. Weighing 64 grams, the substantial piece is stored securely when not in use.

A double strand cultured pearl necklace features two parallel rows of pearls, created when an irritant is inserted into a living mollusc to induce nacre formation.

Traditional pearl necklaces are individually hand-knotted on silk thread between each bead to prevent friction and protect the pearls if the strand breaks.

Authentic cultured pearls display natural variations in shape, overtone, and lustre, along with hallmarked precious metal clasps such as 9ct gold.

A double strand pearl necklace complements formal eveningwear or provides a structured contrast when worn with a tailored jacket or crisp neckline.

Store pearls flat in a lined pouch away from direct heat, avoid contact with cosmetics or perfumes, and wipe them with a damp cloth after wear.
