This is a stunning mid-century Japanese akoya saltwater cultured pearl tie bar or money clip.

The pearl is 5.75mm round. It has mirror like luster with bright rosy overtones. It is set on top of a solid white mother of pearl

The setting is made of solid silver. Stamped "STERLING". The metal is accented with engravings of exceptional quality. It is heavy and very well thought out design. Total length is 1 3/4 inch. 

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