Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report, all pearls are natural, saltwater pearls. The pearl set on ring and one pearl on earclips have been worked; the other pearl set on one earclip has no indications of treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the pearls are of baroque-shape, cream white to white colour, good lustre, with moderate to significant surface blemishes upon close check, but generally not noticeable when worn. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Vintage mounts, with signs of wear and surface abrasions to the metal, overall in good condition.
