Bidspirit auction | Silver Peacock Cultured Pearl Hand-Knotted

Silver Peacock Cultured Pearl Hand-Knotted Necklace - This necklace features a single strand of color-treated freshwater cultured pearls measuring approximately 7mm to 8mm. The pearls are near-round to off-round in shape and exhibit a high metallic luster with iridescent blue-gray peacock overtones including shades of green and purple. The strand is hand-knotted on gray thread for security and drape. The necklace is finished with a silver-tone decorative box clasp featuring an ornate openwork floral rosette motif with a matching gray pearl set in the center and a side safety lever. The reverse of the clasp is stamped SILVER. Length 16.5 inches. Peacock cultured pearl necklaces occupy a specific and prized position in the pearl market - peacock is the name for the most saturated blue-green-purple overtone in Tahitian pearl production, representing the finest chromatic expression of the darkly lustrous Pinctada margaritifera oyster. A hand-knotted peacock Tahitian pearl strand demonstrates material value well beyond its listed price, as peacock overtone Tahitians of gem quality are among the most valuable pearl types produced.
