Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF report, all six pearls are natural, saltwater pearls. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, two larger pearls in the surmount are of button-shape, two pearls in the middle are off-round to naked eyes and the pair of pearls suspending in the bottom are of drop-shape. They are all in white colour, minor surface blemishes which are observed upon close look but not noticeable in normal visual distance; all with good surface lustre. Tiny diamonds are about E to F colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Karat white gold mount, in very good condition.
