The black diamonds are opaque, with strong surface lustre and pits or small cavities under 10x check. The sapphires set on ball clasp are very dark blue colour, almost close to black, translucent clarity with some surface pits under 10x loupe.
Condition: Chic cultured pearl strand, both in very good condition.
