18 Karat Gold, Cultured Pearl and Diamond Choker, Tallarico

Composed of 78 cultured pearls measuring approximately 6.8 to 5.9 mm, framed by round brilliant-cut diamonds weighing approximately 11.00 carats, gross weight approximately 151 dwts, internal circumference 12 inches, signed Tallarico. With signed pouch.

In good condition. The choker is slightly flexible, but is most comfortably worn on a small to medium neck. The creamy white pearls exhibit moderate rose and green overtones, with good luster. Some pearls have minor blemishing such as slight wrinkling to the skins, this is only evident under very close inspection. The 246 round brilliant-cut diamonds are approximately H-I color, VS-SI clarity. Tallarico signature partially rubbed on one end of choker, and very faintly signed on other end of choker, slight surface scratching commensurate with wear.
