Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, all three cultured pearls on earrings and brooch are round to naked eyes, of white colour, good to very good lustre, and the pearl on brooch has slightly more rosè overtone. The cultured pearls are generally clean to naked eyes. Diamonds on ear clips are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity. Diamonds on brooch are of H to I colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Pair of ear clips is with clip back only. Pin on the brooch is slightly distorted, which does not affect its function and can be easily fixed by service of a jeweller. Overall, the ear clips and brooch show minute signs of wear, otherwise both in very good condition.
