CULTURED PEARL AND DIAMOND NECKLACE

Composed of a single strand of twenty-seven graduated white cultured pearls measuring approximately 15.07 to 17.98mm, completed by a spherical clasp set with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum, length approximately 460mm.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cultured pearls are round to naked eyes, of matching white colour with slight rose overtone, very good nacre quality giving strong and consistent lustre, generally surface clean that only one to two pearls show minute blemishes upon very close and careful check. Diamonds set on the ball clasp together weighing approximately 3.45 carats, are of F to G colours, VS to SI1 clarity. Condition: Classic pearl strand of very good size and nice graduation, in mint condition.
