Condition

In good condition. Please note that the pearls have not been tested for natural origin of color. The dark pearl is a very deep greenish gray hue with nice overtones of lavender and blue, very good luster and minute blemishing. The light pearl is a creamy ivory hue with strong overtones of pink and green, good luster and minor blemishing. The diamonds are approximately F-H color and VS-SI clarity. The earclip mechanisms slide off, presumably originally manufactured to be configured an additional way.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. 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.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
