One pearl (shown on the left of the printed catalogue page) is slightly more irregularly shaped than the other, and is somewhat flattened on the reverse of the pearl. Also a small amount of pitting to the tip of that pearl. The other pearl (shown on the right side of the catalogue page) is more drop shaped and is less flattened on the reverse.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
