"Double Strand Cultured Pearl Necklace, Art Deco Clasp In 925 Silver, Circa 1930"
Double strand cultured pearl necklace, Art Deco clasp in 925 silver, circa 1930. This antique necklace features two strands of freshwater cultured pearls, approximately 1 cm in diameter, with a slightly baroque shape and a beautiful natural luster. The necklace is centered by a substantial Art Deco clasp in solid 925 silver, with architectural and perfectly symmetrical lines, typical of the 1930s. The decoration, entirely pavé-set with marcasite, highlights a structured geometric design, characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic, where the rigor of lines and the balance of proportions take precedence over excessive ornamentation. The clasp bears the "925 fish" hallmark, guaranteeing the silver's purity, as well as a maker's mark, LMDB, attesting to its meticulous craftsmanship. Through its size and decoration, this clasp is a central element of the piece and clearly affirms its Art Deco origins. The necklace has a striking presence when worn, with the harmonious fall of the two strands adding elegance and character to the overall look.
