Jackie Kennedy Pearl Necklace with Flower Clasp (pictures coming soon!)

JACKIE KENNEDY WAS KNOWN FOR HER PEARL JEWELRY COLLECTION. SHE WORE PEARLS REGULARLY THROUGHOUT HER LIFE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE KENNEDY PRESIDENCY. MOST OF HER PEARL JEWELRY WAS GIVEN TO HER BY HER MOTHER, JANET BOUVIER. JACKIE KENNEDY WAS ALSO A FAN OF COCO CHANEL WHO DESIGNED THIS TYPE OF PEARL NECKLACE WITH DELIBERATELY SPACED STRANDS FOR A LAYERED AFFECT. IT IS RUMORED THAT COCO CHANEL ALSO DESIGNED THE FLOWER CLASP, A BELIEVER THAT THE CLASP IS A MAIN PART OF THE DESIGN AND SHOULD BE SEEN. JACKIE KENNEDY WORE THIS NECKLACE WITH THE CLASP ON THE SIDE OR IN THE BACK.
