This Mikimoto Akoya cultured Pearl strand necklace is a rare and highly collectible Pearl necklace from the late Art Deco era. Crafted from authentic perfectly spherical Mikimoto Akoya cultured Pearls, this is a must-have for any antique and vintage jewellery collector.
Each plump and milky Pearl has a beautiful lustre and texture (we wouldn't expect anything less from Mikimoto!), graduating in size from the clasp to the centre. Their smooth and luxurious feel will instantly boost your confidence, and each Pearl is individually knotted too. It is very difficult to find early Mikimoto Pearls, which is why this necklace is such a treat! You also are awarded with an authentic Mikimoto "Ginza Tokyo" cranberry velvet box.
