Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF report, the two baroque pearl drops are natural freshwater pearls. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the other two baroque pearls set in the surmounts are probably of the same origin, natural freshwater pearls. All four pearls are of baroque button shape, white colour, medium to good lustre with moderate surface blemishes which generally are not seen when worn. All old-cut diamonds are of I to J colours, SI clarity, brilliant stones, altogether weighing approximately 1.60 carats. Two pearl drop pendants are detachable.
Condition: The setting has been cleaned and re-newed, in very good condition.
