A single strand of large baroque freshwater pearls, individually hand-knotted on cord and finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp.

A single strand of large baroque freshwater pearls, individually hand-knotted on cord and finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp. The pearls are substantial - roughly 10 to 12 mm - with the pronounced concentric growth banding and ridged surfaces that mark genuine cultured freshwater pearls rather than round akoya or moulded imitations. Lustre is good and the overall cast is a warm cream. Individual knotting between pearls is the mark of a properly made strand: it stops the pearls abrading one another and means a single break loses one pearl rather than the whole bracelet. Condition - please read before buying. Several pearls carry tan or greyish surface discolouration; this is shown in the photographs rather than hidden or edited out. The sterling toggle clasp is heavily tarnished. In one frame a coloured thread shows at a knot. The cord and knots were checked along the full length and are in good condition - no stretch and no fraying. This is an honest, worn estate piece and it is priced that way. Surface blemishes on natural pearls are normal and are part of what tells you they are real. Details - Pearls: cultured freshwater, baroque / potato shape, approx. 10 x 10 x 12 mm, 13 pearls · Stringing: individually knotted on cord · Clasp: sterling silver toggle (T-bar), stamped 925 · Length: 7.5 in · Width: 10 mm · Total weight: 23.66 g. Pearls are soft and porous. Put them on last and take them off first, keep them away from perfume, hairspray and cleaning products, and wipe them with a slightly damp soft cloth rather than any jewelry dip. The cord is sound now; if it ever feels slack or discoloured, have it restrung - on a knotted strand that is a routine, inexpensive job. Please study the photographs closely - this is a pre-owned estate piece sold as shown. Ships securely packaged with Condition: Pre-owned - Good.
