Pair of 18 Karat White Gold, Cultured Freshwater Pearl, Diamond, Spinel and Ruby Pendant-Earrings, Taffin

Topped by two button-shaped cultured freshwater pearls measuring approximately 12.4 by 8.6 mm and 12.1 by 8.6 mm, the drop-shaped pendants set with numerous single-cut diamonds weighing approximately 5.00 carats, accented by spinel and ruby beads and cabochons, signed Taffin, numbered TF178.

In very good condition. The diamonds are approximately F-G color, VS clarity. The spinels are a bright moderately saturated medium purplish red and eye-clean. The button shaped pearls are nicely matched for shape, size and color. The pearls exhibit a soft peach-pink body color with strong rose and green overtones and very good luster. With minor ringing and minute scratching to the skins, not apparent when worn.
