This is a lovely vintage strand of graduated Japanese saltwater akoya cultured pearls.

The pearls range from 3.25-7.25mm and have great luster, rosy pink overtones and very few blemishes. Good quality strand. 

The clasp is in solid sterling silver with hand engraving and milgrain designs. It also has a single 3.25mm pearl set in the center. It is stamped "STERLING" for solid sterling silver. Total length is 20.75 inch. From Japan 1930's-1960's.

All pearls are truly vintage and have only been lightly cleaned and restrung.
