This antique Victorian natural pearl necklace weighs 4.6g and measures 18 inches long. Composed of iridescent, increasingly rare silk-strung natural pearls ranging from 2mm to 5.5mm in diameter and graded an enchanting 'cream' color, this natural pearl necklace offers timeless elegance and is an adornment to any attire for each and every occasion. The original silver-topped 14k yellow gold clasp of ovular design centers a twinkling bezel-set 0.10ct European-cut diamond graded K color and SI2 clarity, mounted within a floating frame, surmounting pierced openwork, finely mille grained plaque. A tongue-and-groove closure and a figure-eight safety latch secure this refined natural pearl necklace.
Often referred to as the world's oldest gems, pearls are believed to bestow love and richness upon their possessor. Natural pearls are organic gems conceived by wild oysters living in oceans and by mollusks inhabiting rivers and mountain streams. Cultured pearls are produced by placing shell beads inside an oyster, returning the oyster to the water and harvesting the pearls at a later stage, whereas natural pearls are formed by the encouragement of nature alone.
