Pearl necklaces range from simple single strands to more detailed antique and multi-strand pieces. What matters most is the quality of the pearls themselves, their lustre, how well they match, and the overall make of the necklace.
At Lyon & Turnbull, we offer specialist valuations and auction advice for pearl necklaces, with straightforward guidance if you’re considering a sale.
Pearl Necklaces at Auction
Pearl necklaces appear regularly at auction, with demand for both antique and modern examples. Interest is often strongest for well-matched strands, fine natural pearls and high-quality cultured pearls, particularly when combined with distinctive clasps or period design.
We regularly handle:
- Single strand pearl necklaces
- Graduated pearl necklaces
- Multi-strand designs
- Antique pearl necklaces
- Pearl necklaces with diamond or gem-set clasps
Each piece is assessed individually, with careful attention to quality and condition.
