Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cultured pearls on necklace are of baroque-tubular shape, white colour with very good surface lustre and medium rosè overtone. Two cultured pearls on earclips are of slightly button-shape, but face-up round to naked eyes, white colour, good surface lustre with minor surface blemishes which are not seen when worn. Pink sapphires are of medium intense, purple-pink colour, eye clean. Upon loupe check, only a few stones may have some minor inclusions, otherwise quite clean. Both are signed and numbered to the mounts.
Condition: This necklace and earclips suite is offered without reserve. Karat white and yellow gold mounts, both in very good condition.
