Vintage genuine pearl necklace, cultured Akoya pearls (genuine ocean pearls, not freshwater), two strands of large matched pearls with a very large decorative 9ct gold clasp mounted with a large dark red stone and four pearls. The pearls are each 7.5 mm diameter, knotted between each bead. Total length is 53 cm including the clasp. The beautiful clasp is a converted Victorian late 19th century brooch - it has four circles, each topped with a 9ct gold very detailed chased leaf pattern. Intricate filigree circles around the leaves, and tiny millegrain edge to the clasp. Mounted with the central stone and four genuine pearls. The clasp measures 4 cm by 3.5 cm. This is a truly beautiful vintage necklace, probably dating early 20th century. Very good condition for the age, just very light normal wear. This is the prettiest statement necklace I have seen.
