I'm mesmerized both by how pretty those pearls are and by the history they might have witnessed. Germany, 1930-1950....wow. They are stunning, alone and on you. What a great find!
I'm totally going to imagine them once gracing the throat of Marlene Dietrich now.
I think if I wore white they'd show up as more golden. On my bright dark solids they do appear white in the photos. And then so golden in the comparison shots. Ah. Pearls.
Pretty esp w clasp n front. Sometimes they looked yellowish. Think I'd call them more champagne. ITs hard to know if these old pearls darkened over time or if they were just unbleached akoya.
Who's to say how much beaching was done to make the white. It must not be good for the pearl.
Gave my mom this long 28? in 9mm ish strand with a real old looking clasp. Just was not fond of the color but with time we appreciate different things & not every pearl has to be white.
Still dealing with my own gold chipped pearl earrings nightmare & it could eb yellow akoya...
