Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF report, the two large pearls are natural saltwater pearls. The smaller pearls have not been tested due to setting. Please refer to report for details. In our opinion, natural pearls are white and cream-white colours, with rosé and light green overtone, good lustre. Emerald is of medium green colour, slightly included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions, abrasions on some facets, overall not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about G to H colour, VS clarity.
