A Fine Graduated Strand of Cream Pearls with Gold, Diamond and Turquoise Clasp, Circa 1909
A refined early 20th-century pearl necklace composed of a single graduated strand of softly lustrous cream-coloured pearls, completed by an elegant oval gold clasp set with turquoise and diamonds. Dating to circa 1909, the necklace captures the restrained luxury and graceful femininity of the late Edwardian period.
The pearls gently graduate in size along the strand, creating a flattering, harmonious line around the neck. Their warm cream tone gives the piece a softness and depth that sits beautifully against the gold clasp. At the centre, the oval clasp is enriched with vivid turquoise and sparkling diamonds, offering a delicate flash of colour and light while providing an attractive detail when worn to the front or side.
Jewellery of this period was prized for its lightness, refinement, and attention to detail. The combination of pearls, turquoise, and diamonds is particularly appealing: the serene blue of the turquoise provides a fresh counterpoint to the pearls' gentle lustre, while the diamonds lend a subtle brilliance to the design.
An elegant and highly wearable antique necklace, equally suited to special occasions or to adding a note of period charm to a modern wardrobe. It would make a beautiful addition to a collection of Edwardian jewellery or a thoughtful gift for a lover of antique pearls.
Gold, pearls, turquoise and diamonds; circa 1909. Please refer to the photographs for condition, measurements, pearl sizes, and clasp details.
