Kissaka Cultured Baroques Pearl Station Necklace

This necklace features a sequence of freshwater cultured pearls in a variety of shades including cream, silver-grey, and charcoal. The pearls exhibit a distinct 'baroque' or 'potato' shape, characterized by irregular, non-spherical forms with visible concentric growth rings and surface undulations, which are hallmarks of natural organic development. They are approximately 7-9mm in size. The necklace is constructed as a station-style piece, where the pearls are spaced intermittently along a silver-toned metal ball chain. The metal appears to be a rhodium or silver-plated alloy based on the high luster and cool tone. A significant feature is the adjustable extender chain ending in an oval brushed-metal hangtag stamped with the maker's mark 'KISSAKA'. The clasp is a standard lobster claw. Condition-wise, the pearls show good luster with no significant peeling of the nacre, and the metal components appear free of significant oxidation or kinking, suggesting a contemporary manufacture date from the last 15-20 years. The craftsmanship is designed for everyday elegance, utilizing a combination of cool neutral tones that provide a modern aesthetic.
