Edwardian Natural Pearl Necklace with Diamond Set Cluster Clasp

A beautiful strand of graduated natural pearls with a 15ct yellow gold clasp with a platinum top that is set with diamonds in a cluster design. It has a safety chain for extra security. Natural pearls are extremely rare. Only one in about 10,000 wild oysters will yield a pearl and of those, only a small percentage achieve the size, shape and colour desirable to the jeweller. The value of the pearls in jewellery is determined by a combination of the lustre, colour, size, lack of surface flaw and symmetry that are appropriate for the type of pearl under consideration. This necklace has well matched graduated natural pearls throughout.
