Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GIA and a British gem reports, both pearl drops are natural, saltwater pearls. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, both pearls are of semi-baroque drop-shape, cream white colour, good lustre with minor surface blemishes which are not seen in normal visual distance. Diamonds are about G to H colours, mostly VS clarity.
Condition: Platinum vintage earring mounts, pearl drops are probably later added, signs of normal wear to the metal consistent with age, overall in good condition.
