Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cabochon blue chalcedony are translucent, of light to medium light greyish blue tone. Moonstones are of milky tone, with typical pillowy sheen under illumination. Other coloured gems are of various hues, including intense purple-pink and yellow-orange, medium deep bluish violet and medium light sky blue colour. All are very clean to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, a few stones may have natural inclusions or minor surface abrasions on crown and girdle, not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about E to F colours, VS clarity. All are signed and numbered, with platinum marks.
Condition: The pendant is detachable. Signs of wear to the mounts, overall in very good condition.
