Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF report, all four pearls are natural, saltwater pearls, with no indications of artificial colour modification. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, two of the pearls are white colour with slight rosè overtone, and the other two are of pinkish grey hue. Pearls to the surmount are off-round to naked eyes, and two pearl drops are slightly baroque, all of good to very good lustre with minor surface blemishes which are not seen in normal visual distance. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS2 to SI clarity.
Condition: Vintage earring mounts have signs of abrasions and wear, commensurate to age, overall in good condition.
