Triple Strand Cultured Pearl Necklace, 9ct Gold Sapphire Floral Clasp, Vintage 1960s

1940 - 1960
Description

This exquisite 1960s triple strand pearl necklace is a picture of timeless elegance, enhanced by a beautifully crafted 9ct gold floral clasp set with deep blue sapphires and delicate pearls.

Each of the three strands is composed of lustrous creamy ivory cultured pearls, individually hand-knotted for strength and fluid drape. The pearls have a soft, even glow with a fine natural sheen, and measure approximately 5.8–6mm in diameter.

The gold clasp is particularly charming — designed as a flowerhead, it features four oval sapphires and five petite pearls, forming a delightful centrepiece that can be worn to the front, side, or back for versatile styling.

Measuring 18 inches (45cm) at its shortest strand, with the others graduating to 19 inches (48cm) and 17 inches (43cm), this necklace sits beautifully at the collarbone, flattering every neckline.

Sapphire stones: 1 × approx. 3.5mm, 6 × approx. 2mm

9ct gold clasp diameter: approx. 14mm

Necklace weight: 60 grams

Excellent condition throughout – pearls evenly coloured and free from blemishes

Presented in the box illustrated

A truly elegant and feminine necklace, perfect for any occasion and a wonderful example of mid-20th-century design inspired by the grace of earlier eras.

This vintage 1960s mid-century fine jewellery piece is a triple strand cultured pearl necklace in a cream colour. It comprises three parallel strands of creamy ivory cultured pearls individually hand-knotted on silk thread, paired with a circular 9ct gold floral clasp featuring a cluster setting of deep blue sapphires and petite white pearls. The photograph shows a grey background behind the necklace, the round flowerhead shape of the gold clasp, and visible individual hand-knotted threads between the pearls. The shortest strand measures 43 cm, the middle strand measures 45 cm, and the longest strand measures 48 cm, allowing the necklace to sit at the collarbone. Suitable for wear on formal occasions, evening events, and daily styling, the necklace can be positioned with the floral clasp worn at the front, side, or back. The clasp has a diameter of 14 mm, and the graduated pearls measure 5.8 mm to 6 mm in diameter. The piece weighs 60 grams and is in excellent condition throughout, with evenly coloured pearls free from blemishes. It coordinates with a range of outfits and necklines, adding a touch of mid-century design to any collection.

FAQs

Multi-strand pearl necklaces gained significant popularity in the mid-20th century, representing formal jewellery design throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

Authentic mid-century examples feature cultured saltwater or freshwater pearls strung on silk thread, secured with gold or platinum clasps often set with gemstones like sapphires.

Genuine cultured pearls exhibit subtle natural surface variations, feel cool to the touch initially, and feature hand-tied knots between each bead alongside hallmarks on the precious metal clasp.

When displayed decoratively within a home, fine jewellery can be arranged on a velvet tray, hung on a brass jewellery stand, or presented inside a glass cloche on a dressing table.

Pearls should be wiped with a soft cloth after wear, kept away from perfumes and cosmetics, and stored flat in a fabric-lined pouch to prevent stretching the silk thread.
