Very good condition. The round to off-round pearls are very slightly silvery in bodycolor with soft to moderate pink and green overtones, waxy to good luster, and moderate blemishing. The semi-baroque pearl drop presents surface modulations and wrinkling typical to the type. The diamonds are approximately G-H color and predominantly VS clarity.
