This Edwardian pearl choker necklace with a 14k white gold clasp in antique style weighs 32.8g, measuring 13 inches long, 4cm wide and 3mm deep. Choker necklaces set either with diamonds or pearls reached the height of their historical popularity between 1885 and 1910. Those created after 1900 were considered to be an 'indispensable accessory of Parisian high life', often worn in conjunction with longer, lace-like and delicately scalloped necklaces. They were considerably wider than their counterparts of the late 19th century and could be distinguished by their decoration of entwined garland motifs and fluttering ribbons, occasionally backed by bands of fabric reminiscent of the preceding century. This absorbing Edwardian choker necklace incorporates eight horizontal strands of iridescent freshwater pearls, measuring approximately 3mm in diameter, graded 'pale pinkish-white' color. Strung on matching colored silk, these alluringly delicate rows are interconnected by vertically positioned single or double pearls, creating an exquisite, geometrically inspired openwork design. A delicately pierced, 'en diagonal' styled plaque rendered in combined polished and matted white gold veils the impeccably crafted slide-in clasp securing this fine Edwardian style choker necklace of exquisite aesthetic and unmatched feminine grace.
