This is a lovely vintage mid-century strand of graduated Japanese saltwater akoya cultured pearl and yellow gold.

The pearls measure 3.50-6.75mm with good luster and light rosy overtones. They are a white color. Medium amount of natural blemishes. 

The clasp is solid 14K yellow gold and has a modern basket weave style. It is stamped "14K". Total length is 20.25in. From the 1950's-1980's. 

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