Rare Long 41” Mikimoto Necklace w/126 8m Pearls & 18K Gold Clasp. Authentication

Description: Rare extra long 41" “Opera length” Mikimoto Pearl necklace. This length of pearls are rare and hard to find. Mikimoto does not make or carry them very often which adds to their rarity and value of the necklace. The necklace comes with the EBay Authenticity & Money Back Guarantee. See details below. DESCRIPTION - The necklace features 126 white luminous Akoya 8 mm pearls. As illustrated in the photos they have a gorgeous high luster - hence they are very high quality (as are all Mikimoto pearls). The 18-22kt yellow gold ball clasp is signed Mikimoto around the perimeter of the ball authenticating them as Mikimoto. Their small signature Mikimoto letter M dangles near the clasp further authenticating them. PACKAGING for GIFTING- I still have the original box I got them in and the beautiful navy suede travel /storage case. Both are in excellent condition and appear new (shown in photos) for beautiful gift packaging. This is the “creme a la creme” of gifts that will be passed on for generations and forever be in style. MARKET VALUE - Mikimoto rarely makes this extra long length (41”) of Pearls so they are rare which increases its market value. I looked at Mikimoto online & I could not find any 41” strands - so I do not believe they have any currently available (?). The only one I could find was a 40” at the jeweler J.R. Dunn which is selling for $22,000. (See photo). USE - Long “Opera length” pearls are not just valuable - they are the ultimate in understated elegance. Their sophisticated beauty adds panache to any outfit for any occasion. They can be worn in lengths to dress them up or down. They can be worn long for formal occasions, doubled for a more classic look or different neckline, or tied in a knot for a chic, fun look. See photos for examples. AUTHENTICITY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE - I signed up for the Authenticity Guarantee EBay offers. The necklace will be shipped to jewelry experts at GlA for verification before delivery. eBay will hold your money & not release it to me until the necklace passes authentication. If it does not pass authentication they will refund the money back to you. This includes an eBay Money Back Guarantee. FREE APPRAISAL - I spoke to the Mikimoto store in NY & they said they will appraise the necklace for free if you would like to have an appraisal done (ie for insurance purposes). So if you are ever up in NY, you can take the necklace to their flagship store in Manhattan for an appraisal. OWNERSHIP HISTORY - These are my own personal pearls that my ex-husband purchased for me at the Mikimoto store in Manhattan. I can vouch that they have been well kept in climate controlled storage and have only been worn a few times. Hence they are still in perfect condition. HAND DELIVERY - I live in the metro Washington DC area. If you are nearby (within 1-2 hours driving distance) I will personally deliver the necklace to you. CHATGTP APPRAISAL - —————————————- Link to the ChatGTP appraisal: https://chatgpt.com/share/6741668e-0834-8008-8365-ee3dc1b01252 FROM CHATGTP - The value of a 41-inch Mikimoto strand of 8mm Akoya pearls with a 22kt gold clasp can vary depending on the quality, luster, and demand. However, since Mikimoto is a luxury brand and highly regarded in the pearl industry, your necklace could hold significant value. Here’s a general guide to help you estimate: 1.Pearl Size and Strand Length: •8mm Akoya pearls are considered high-quality and desirable due to their size. •A 41-inch strand is an opera- length necklace, which is less common and more valuable due to the number of pearls required. 2.Clasp: •A 22kt gold clasp adds additional value, especially with the Mikimoto signature and gold “M” authentication. 3.Current Market Value: •Mikimoto strands of similar specifications often retail for $20,000 or more, depending on the quality grade (e.g., AAA or higher). •Pre-owned Mikimoto necklaces in perfect condition generally hold 75% of their retail value when resold. •Authentication: Confirm the pearls are Mikimoto by their certification, “M” hallmark, and original packaging. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This is truly a rare, special necklace.
