This is a strand of large vintage baroque Japanese saltwater akoya cultured pearls.

The pearls measure 8.00-8.25mm with good luster and rosy pink overtones. Medium amount of natural blemishes. Slightly graduated. 

The clasp is solid sterling silver and stamped "STER". Total length is 16 inch. From mid-century.

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