Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the golden cultured pearls are round to naked eyes, medium golden colour, with medium to high lustre, generally very clean with a few minor blemishes. The yellow sapphires are of an intense yellow colour, diamonds are probably about F-G colours, VS clarity. Condition: In good condition.
