In the early 1970's, young ladies started wearing ties with both casual and formal attire. Vintage Pearl Neckties are very difficult to find today, especially ones with great quality high luster pearls. Most pearl necktie designs were made in Hong Kong and the clasp on this necktie is signed Hong Kong. It was a very time-consuming product to make as all of the pearls are hand sewn together. They are not made any more like this. Not like this one, with quality cultured pearls. The brilliant lustre of these cultured pearls is very obvious to those with a trained eye. The necktie is a long and wide design. It is 11 1/2" long x 2 1/4" wide or 29 cm x 5.7 cm. The pearl strand that loops around the neck can be hooked up to 17 1/2" or 45 cm long. The entire necktie is in pristine clean like new well cared for vintage condition. The pearls have a bright white luster. Comes gift wrapped and shipped in a new luxury presentation necklace box.
