Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the rose-cut diamonds on both the necklace and matching earclips are about G to H colours, mostly VS clarity. Cultured pearls on necklace are of baroque shape, two of white colour with slight rosè overtone and one of very dark grey colour with rosè overtone. All cultured pearls have bumpy surface, but very good lustre. Both are signed Gianmaria Buccellati Italy. Condition: The necklace and matching earclips are from the Estate of the late Anita Mui Yim Fong. Karat gold mounts, ear-pendants are detachable, showing signs of normal wear to the mounts, otherwise both in very good condition.
