Vintage Akoya Cultured Pearl Necklace and Stud Earring Set

This jewelry set consists of a single-strand opera-length necklace and a pair of matching stud earrings. The necklace features approximately 80 to 90 spherical pearls, likely Akoya cultured pearls, exhibiting a creamy white to slightly ivory body color with soft rose overtones and high luster. The pearls appear to be individually knotted on silk thread for security and drape. The necklace is secured by a rectangular yellow gold-toned box clasp, which bears a visible '9ct' hallmark indicating 9-karat gold purity, along with a maker's mark or serial number. The earrings are simple studs featuring slightly larger pearls of similar luster and hue, mounted on silver-toned metal posts with butterfly friction backs. The set reflects mid-20th-century craftsmanship, likely dating from the 1950s to 1970s. Condition-wise, the pearls show well-preserved surfaces with minor typical nacre irregularities. There is a slight yellowing of the silk thread near the clasp consistent with age, suggesting the set may benefit from professional restringing to ensure structural integrity. No significant chips, peeling, or loss of nacre is visible, indicating a high-quality original selection.
