Centring on a round natural pearl of pinkish white colour measuring 12.50 to 12.77 x 10.58mm, framed by twelve old-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 1.30 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to a gem report from The Gem Testing Laboratory of Great Britain, the pearl is of natural origin. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the pearl is round to naked eyes both in face-up and profile when it is mounted. Based on the description on report, the pearl should be of slightly button shape when unmounted. The pearl is of pinkish white colour with brown tinges to the side, smooth surface with minor blemishes, good lustre. Surrounding old-cut diamonds are probably of K to slightly brownish colour, SI2-3 clarity.
Condition: There is a slit between the shank and the basket to the back on one side. The ring is still secure for wearing at the moment, but suggesting to send for professional service. Normal wear signs consistent with age.
