Cultured Pearl and Diamond Necklace

Composed of 62 cultured pearls of golden hue measuring approximately 16.0 to 11.9 mm, completed by an openwork clasp set with single-cut diamonds weighing approximately .25 carat, mounted in 18 karat gold, length 34½ inches.

In good condition. The round cultured pearls are of golden hue with soft green and rose overtones, some more creamy golden in color than others. Good luster with moderate blemishing such as pitting and wrinkling. The diamonds in the openwork clasp are near-colorless and decorative in quality. Clasp is operated by depressing the thumbpiece, unhinging, and sliding out the end. Please note that the pearls have not been tested for natural origin of color.
