Description

  • Pearl, diamond and platinum

Condition

Accompanied by GIA report no. 5111324163 stating natural pearls, saltwater. The pearls are a more creamy golden color than pictured in the printed catalogue. Good luster, moderate wrinkling of the skins, and some peeling of the skins, especially at the base of one of the pearls. The pearls are rather flattened at the backs. The smaller leaf motif earclip tops are set with single and round cut diamonds weighing approximately 1.60 cts; the posts on these tops are off-set and do not push through the clip backs as usual, but the earrings are secure when worn. Diamonds in both pairs of earclip tops are approximately I-J color and VS-SI clarity. In good condition overall.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
