Description
- natural pearl, diamond, platinum
Suspending a drop-shaped natural pearl measuring approximately 15.10-15.70 x 18.80mm, to geometrical necklace composed of circular-cut and baguette diamonds together weighing approximately 20.00 carats, mounted in platinum, length approximately 400mm.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF report, the pearl drop is natural, saltwater pearl, with no indications of artificial colour modification. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the natural pearl is of silver white colour with slight rosè overtone and drop shape to naked eyes, very good lustre with minor surface blemishes, not seen unless close and careful check. A saltwater natural pearl of 29 carats weight of symmetrical drop shape and nice lustre is very rare. The diamonds on necklace are about G to H colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: One baguette diamond is deficient, which can be replaced. Platinum mount, with extra links, signs of normal wear to the metal, overall in very good condition.
