Colour and Clarity: According to a British gem report, all pearls are natural, saltwater pearls. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, those larger pearls are off-round to semi-baroque shape, white colour with rosè overtone, good to very good lustre, with minor to moderate surface blemishes which are not noticeable unless close check. Smaller seed pearls are round to off-round shape to naked eyes, cream white colour, very good lustre. Rose-cut diamonds are probably of I to J colours, with abraded surface. Signed Lacloche Paris to the tongue. Condition: Vintage natural pearl necklace, overall in good condition.
