Second-hand pearl necklaces

Among the most elegant gems, pearls are used alone or in combination with other precious materials to create classic or eccentric jewelry. Gemme jewellers, experts in antique and contemporary second-hand jewelry, present a range of pearl necklaces from a magnificent collection of second-hand gold necklaces from all periods.

Cultured pearl necklaces

A timeless piece of jewelry, always associated with elegance and sophistication, the pearl necklace combines softness and luminosity. It can be worn to complete a formal outfit in the most classic style, or paired with an eccentric look to play on the contrasts between wisdom and audacity. Gemme jewellers offer genuine cultured pearls mounted in choker, opera, long or princess necklaces, in one or more strands. Our second-hand pearl necklaces are contemporary or antique pieces, always featuring an 18-carat gold clasp and sometimes enhanced with a diamond, gold pearls or chrysoprase pearls mounted alternately.

18-carat gold necklaces with pearls

Among the most precious organic gems, cultured pearls can be mounted on a solitaire necklace, in the same way as a diamond. Among our second-hand jewelry, you will find a wide selection of 18-carat yellow gold necklaces adorned with an imposing Tahitian pearl with dark iridescent reflections, or a natural pearl with immaculate white mother-of-pearl. Pearls are often used by leading jewelry houses to create unique pieces.

You will find it paired with garnets and diamonds on a necklace by Isabelle Langlois, or mounted on a Mauboussin white gold necklace made of a jaseron chain. Specialising in antique, vintage and contemporary second-hand jewelry, Gemme jewellers restore and authenticate necklaces from all eras. Pearls were a must-have fashion item in the 1920s and 1930s and have lost none of their appeal. You will find them in our catalogue on authenticated antique and vintage necklaces, as well as on contemporary jewelry pieces.

How much does a pearl necklace cost?

The price of a pearl necklace varies depending on the type of pearls, their quality, and other specific features of the necklace: signature, jewelry workmanship, presence of other precious or semi-precious stones. Freshwater cultured pearls are the most affordable per unit. Tahitian pearls and South Sea pearls are among the most expensive. They are often mounted as solitaires. The price of the jewelry also depends on the lustre of the pearl, the perfection of its surface, its roundness and, of course, its size. With second-hand pearl necklaces, Gemme jewellers allow you to purchase an authentic pearl necklace for 30 to 60% less than its estimated new value.

In our workshops in Lyon and our online shop, you will find many other second-hand pearl jewelry items: earrings, pendants, bracelets and rings from all periods, delivered in their case with their certificate of authenticity.
