Regular price
$576.00
Presented is a beautiful pearl and 14 karat gold necklace. This is a relatively modern piece, likely of American make. The necklace consists of 7 strands of small baroque pearls. The clasp is done in a simple style, two open hoops of 14 karat gold with a raised floral design. As the photos show, the necklace can be worn torsade style or untwisted.
This piece is in excellent condition. The pearls are clean and their nacre is in great shape. There are no breaks and no repairs.
Both parts of the clasp are stamped 14k/585 as well as MFA, likely a maker's mark or for the Museum of Fine Arts.
The necklace is about 19 inches long.
The pearls are oval shaped. They are approximately 4 mm by 5.2 mm. There is variation of course.
