Good condition with no apparent wear to the mounting. Composed of baroque pearls set upon a semi-flexible framework (some evidence of glue on the reverse). The irregularly-shaped, white pearls bear pink and green overtones, good luster, wrinkled skins (typical to the type) and minor scratching. Each pearl is secured by a diamond-set scroll. The necklace is further enhanced by collet-set diamonds and pavé-set hemispheres. All diamonds are round-cut, approx. H-I color, VS-SI clarity. Greatest width 2 1/4 ins. Very attractive when worn.
