Antique Akoya Pearl Necklace Strand Art Deco Vintage c.1930

An Exceptionally Gorgeous Antique Genuine Japanese Akoya Pearl Strand Necklace, Art Deco, c1930, With Fine Detailed Silver Clasp. The necklace is composed of 90 genuine cultured akoya ocean pearls. They are genuine salt water Akoya ocean pearls from a wonderful estate collection. The pearls are very fine quality with gorgeous matched color and a luminous glow. It is quite a process to find as many beautifully matched, round graduated pearls as seen here in this piece. The Mikimoto pearl company often times sold their extra pearls to other pearl companies in Japan in the 1940's. Given the history of these pearls and the high quality, this may very well have been the case. The pearls are graduated from approximately 3 to 7mm. The strand measures approximately 16 1/2 inches in length from clasp to pearl end. They are finished of with a lovely Art Deco clasp composed of high grade silver, with beautiful ornate detail. They date circa 1930 and are in lovely estate condition.
