Condition
Colour and Clarity: The pearl on ring is of slight baroque shape, cream white colour. Good lustre, some surface blemishes with yellowish tinge on the sides. According to the SSEF report, the pearl is natural saltwater pearl, but half-drilled and the base of the pearl has been worked. The diamonds are about H to I colour, VS-SI clarity. The two jadeite cabochons are of highly translucent bright green colour. There are natural inclusions visible under strong penlight. According the the SSEF reports, the two pearl drops are natural saltwater pearls. In our opinion, the pearls are of drop-shape, white colour, medium to good lustre with very minor surface blemishes. The diamonds are H to I colour, VS to SI clarity. Screw back fittings, no posts.
Condition: In very good condition. Normal wear to the setting.
