It is no wonder that pearls have fascinated and bewitched cultures the world over for thousands of years. In such necklaces as the Oratorio, at such an elegant long length, the beauty of this, the world’s most celebrated natural gem, is unsurpassed. This refined double-strand necklace of more than 200 pearls is 32in at its longest, matinee length—and we think two strands of matinee-length pearls should grace the neck of every woman! These pearls are beautiful, and they glow! Added to which, this is an original, refined necklace, a sensational piece of jewellery which looks marvellous with a long gown or a short cocktail dress.These sumptuous pearls are natural, round, high lustre, and measure the highly sought after graduation of 8.5mm to 9.5mm. They are finished with the perfect bow in 14ct yellow gold. This bow can also be worn as a clasp at the nape of the neck, giving two ways to adorn her. Each pearl has been chosen by our South Seas jeweller, hand strung and knotted, creating a fluid, precious necklace to treasure. Fully hallmarked.
