1960s Long Pearl Necklace with Amethyst 9ct Gold Clasp Vintage Cultured Pearls

A superb 1960s long cultured pearl necklace, combining timeless elegance with exceptional versatility. Measuring an impressive 30.5 inches / 77cm, the necklace is composed of beautifully matched cultured pearls, each approximately 7.5mm in diameter. The pearls display a lovely silver-ivory colour with a rich, deep lustre, giving the strand a luxurious appearance and graceful weight when worn. The necklace has recently been professionally restrung in October 2026, with each pearl individually hand-knotted in the traditional manner for both security and a beautifully supple drape. A particularly attractive feature is the floral cluster clasp, crafted in 9ct gold and decorated with creamy seed pearls surrounding a central 5mm faceted purple amethyst. The clasp measures approximately 13mm across and is fitted with a secure push-lock fastening together with a fine safety chain. The generous length makes this an especially versatile jewel. It can be worn as a single elegant long strand, doubled around the neckline for a classic two-row effect, or softly knotted for a more relaxed and contemporary look. At 56 grams, the necklace feels wonderfully substantial while retaining the refined elegance associated with fine vintage pearls. A beautifully wearable vintage jewel, equally suited to day or evening wear.
