Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the conch pearls are of tumbled oval shape to the naked eyes, ranging from pale to medium pink colour, a few with subtle shades of peach/cream. A few of the conch pearls exhibit a nice flame structure and typical colour mottling. The largest conch measures 16.25 x 11.52, of pale pink with a creamy yellow end. The diamonds are about G-H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: In mint condition. The inner swag can be detached to form a bracelet. The two swags can be combined to form a straight-line necklace all set with conch pearls.
