Antique/vintage High Quality Japanese Sakura (cherry blossom) nucleated (bead in) semi baroque pearl. Professionally deep cleaned, oil treated and hand strung (fully knotted) in shop in CA. This is a 70" endless style necklace, 7-7.5mm, 247 pearls. These pearls are bright white/pale pink with bright pink overtones, super high luster and exhibit a strong orient/arora (iridescent soap bubble appearance) on every pearl. The pearls are very well matched and have a great flow. Truly wonderful vintage pearls in near perfect condition, these pearls are from an estate in San Marino, CA and were most likely grown in the 1960-70's era. There's little to no signs of age or damage, the beads look new and fresh (nice high polish). There is some very slight signs of erosion near the bead eye on a few of the pearls, but nothing that is easily seen or that disrupts from the beauty of the strand.
