#34 • Pearls-by-the-Yard Station Necklace with 9–10mm Cultured Pearls in 14kt Gold

Part of $2.8 Million McLean Mansion Luxury Downsizing Auction (timed auction by Prime Auction Solutions)

Status: Sold

Pearl necklace 9–10mm; 14kt A graceful and effortlessly modern necklace in the celebrated "tin cup" or "pearls-by-the-yard" style, featuring lustrous cultured pearls measuring 9–10mm individually stationed along a delicate 14-karat gold chain. The pearls display a soft, creamy-white body color with the rosé overtones and silky luster characteristic of fine cultured material, beautifully matched in size and surface quality across the necklace. Each pearl is wire-wrapped and floats independently along the cable-link chain, creating airy spacing that gives the necklace its signature lightness and the illusion of pearls suspended on the skin. The design — popularized by Tiffany & Co. and Elsa Peretti in the 1970s — has remained a perennial favorite for its versatility, equally at home with everyday casual wear, summer dresses, or layered with longer chains for evening looks. Crafted entirely in solid 14-karat yellow gold including the chain, links, and clasp, the necklace combines the timeless elegance of pearl with the modern minimalism of station-style design. The warm yellow gold complements the cream-rosé pearl tone beautifully, and the secure spring-ring or lobster clasp ensures confident wear throughout the day. A wardrobe essential and a piece that bridges generations — equally suited as a graduation gift, a milestone birthday marker, a bridal accessory, or a self-purchase favorite. Pearl is the traditional birthstone for June and the gemstone of the 3rd and 30th wedding anniversaries.
