Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cultured pearls are round to off-round to naked eyes, of medium golden yellow colour, good to very good lustre. Cultured pearls on necklace show minor to moderate surface blemishes upon close check, not noticeable when worn; while the two cultured pearls on earrings are relatively clean to naked eyes. Condition: Karat yellow gold mounts, in very good condition.
