Description

Each set with natural pearls of greyish, brownish and cream colour, highlighted on one side by a conch pearl, decorated with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum and 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to two SSEF reports and a British gem report, four pearls (cream, dark grey, light grey and brown colour) are natural, with no indication of treatment or colour modification. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, these four natural pearls are of button-shape with nice dome and face-up round to naked eyes, very good lustre with slight to noticeable rosè overtone, clean to naked eyes, except the brown pearl may have minor surface blemishes. Another pearl is of brown pink colour with rosè overtone, slightly button shape, very good lustre and eye clean. The other conch pearl is off-round, of intense pink colour, with porcelain lustre. Diamonds togther weighing approximately 0.25 carat are about I to J colours, VS2 to SI clarity.
Condition: Signs of wear to the metal, otherwise in very good condition.
