Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the pair of golden cultured pearls are matching, of medium saturation, face-up round to naked eyes, surface clean with very good lustre. Round and tapered diamonds are probably of H to I colours, while marquise are slightly tinted. All diamonds are of about VS clarity. The other pair of tahitian cultured pearls are of medium dark grey colour with rose and green overtones, in drop shape, nacre clean to naked eyes, except a little bumpy surface close to the top which well hiddened under the cap, good to very good lustre. Diamonds are of about G to H colours, VS clarity. Tahitian pearl drops are detachable.
Condition: Both pair of cultured pearl earrings are in very good condition, except some minute signs of wear.
