The pearls measure approximately 5–9 mm and are closely matched across all three rows, with exceptional lustre, bright reflections and a soft rose overtone. On inspection, the pearl surfaces showed no visible damage, dimpling or loss of nacre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oval clasp is crafted in 18K white and yellow gold. Round faceted emeralds are claw-set in yellow gold at the centre, surrounded by single-cut diamonds in petal-shaped white gold bezels. The contrast between the vivid green emeralds, white diamonds and warm glow of the pearls makes the clasp a focal point when worn at the side or front. The spring-loaded clasp is fitted with a separate safety clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clasp bears the lozenge-shaped maker’s mark of Atelier Bouder, a Parisian jewellery workshop registered in 1954 and historically associated with rue Cadet. Other documented work bearing the Bouder mark includes French pearl and diamond flower ear clips from the same decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod and origin — France, 1960s\u003cbr\u003e* Pearls — 203 white Akoya cultured pearls, approximately 5–9 mm\u003cbr\u003e* Shortest strand — 47.5 cm 18.7 in, 64 pearls\u003cbr\u003e* Middle strand — 49 cm 19.3 in, 67 pearls\u003cbr\u003e* Longest strand — 54 cm 21.3 in, 72 pearls\u003cbr\u003e* Clasp — 18K 750 white and yellow gold, approximately 2 × 1.5 × 0.8 cm\u003cbr\u003e* \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eEmeralds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003e — 13 round faceted emeralds, approximately 0.80 ct total, claw-set in 18K yellow gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* \u003cspan\u003eDiamonds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e — 16 single-cut diamonds, approximately 0.40 ct total, estimated G–H colour and VS–VVS clarity, assessed in the mount \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003e*Maker’s mark — Atelier Bouder lozenge on the clasp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eGross weight — 89.1 g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece has been carefully inspected and is presented in very good condition, with wear consistent with its age and use.
