My Akoya pearl bracelet

[lavenderjade]

So my lovely bracelet circa 1980 with 9ct gold, garnet and seed pearl clasp broke a couple of months back. Now restrung, it is back to its former beauty and it has been confirmed as being Akoya pearls, Japanese I should think from the age of the piece.

Here it is before and after:

One pearl was missing, it must have rolled away when it broke whilst on my wrist and it was replaced with another.
What do you think? I do love this bracelet, so much sentimental value as well as being beautiful!

What a gorgeous bracelet and the clasp is outstanding! It may not be that old (to some of us lol) but it'll be a heirloom for sure. Enjoy!

I hope that my daughter will one day wear it on HER wedding day, if she ever gets on with it and gets married!

The pearls are really great but the garnet is the bracelet's topping. I have a vintage silver ring with a huge red garnet I really love. Thank you for showing this nice piece.
