Platinum, White Gold, Cultured Pearl and Diamond Choker

Composed of eight strands of cultured pearls measuring approximately 7.3 to 7.1 mm, spaced at intervals with bars set with round diamonds weighing approximately 9.90 carats, length 13 to 14½ inches.

In good condition. The near-round cultured pearls display a creamy white body color with soft pink overtones and are well matched for size and color; with good luster and moderate dimpling and wrinkling of the skins. The diamonds are approximately H-J color, and predominantly VS clarity with some SI examples. Some wear is visible to the platinum setting with very minor abrasion visible to the surface consistent with age and use. Necklace would benefit from having the pearls restrung as one of the outer most strands is fraying slightly.
