Faint pink, purple and green overtones, minute to minor blemishing and good luster. The well-matched pearl drops are of comparable color and quality with the nacre to the base of one pearl peeling slightly near the drill hole.

According to the consignor, the two pearl drops and one of the round pearls were tested.
