1940s Art Deco Double Strand Pearl Necklace with Diamond Clasp

Art Deco Double Strand Pearl Necklace with Diamond Clasp, Circa 1940s An elegant double strand pearl necklace dating to the 1940s, designed in the Art Deco style and finished with an exceptional diamond-set box clasp. The necklace is composed of two graduated strands of cultured pearls, ranging from approximately 8mm to 4mm. The pearls display a creamy ivory tone with delicate peach overtones and a pleasing, even lustre. The slightly differing strand lengths allow the necklace to sit gracefully at the neckline, creating a soft and flattering drape. The clasp is a finely detailed Art Deco box design measuring 16mm x 9mm, set with two baguette-cut diamonds flanking a central round diamond, with a further eighteen small diamonds enhancing the geometric pattern. The total diamond weight is approximately 0.20 carat. Marked 9ct gold to the tongue and fitted with a safety chain, the clasp is both decorative and secure. Offered in excellent condition and presented in the box illustrated, this is a refined and wearable mid-century necklace with strong period character.
