Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds are about I to J colours, VS clarity. Emeralds are medium green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions and surface pits, not seen to naked eyes. Condition: This suite is offered without reserve. General signs of wear to the metal and slight discolouration to the back of necklace, not seen to the obverse. Overall in good condition.
