CONCH PEARL AND DIAMOND BEAD NECKLACE

The long chain composed of forty conch pearls measuring approximately 6.20 x 4.89 x 4.29 to 11.50 x 8.90 x 7.40mm, joined by facetted diamond beads together weighing approximately 15.00 carats, mounted in platinum, length approximately 1500mm.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the conch pearls are of baroque shapes and various hues, ranging from faint to intense purplish pink, light to medium orangy yellow, and light to medium orangy pink colours. A few, particularly the larger pearls, show noticeable surface flame pattern. Diamond beads generally appear near-colourless to naked eyes, SI clarity. Condition: Fine workmanship, overall in very good condition.
