Art Deco Inspired Natural Pearl Necklace in Palladium and 9ct White Gold

An individual, natural pearl necklace. Inspired by our rich collection of antique examples from the Art Deco period, this stylish piece expertly combines a selection of lustrous white natural pearls. A diamond set palladium and white gold clasp completes the design, and ensures it is effortless to wear and enjoy. Pearls were much favoured during the Victorian, Belle Époque and Art Deco periods, since this gemstone from the sea was viewed as a sign of purity and started being worn by brides on their wedding day. Jewellery produced during this iconic era embraced the magical qualities of natural pearls and resulted in them being featured in a wide range of designs. Natural pearls were incredibly sought after during this period, as they were plucked from the depths of the dangerous Persian Gulf by only the bravest of divers. The largest and most lustrous examples of natural pearls were worth far more than diamonds, and were worn with pride by royalty and the aristocracy. The demand for these rare and special gemstones has grown massively over the past decade, with examples regularly featuring as star lots in auctions worldwide.
