Condition Report
The necklace is in overall good condition. The natural pearls have a cream body colour with green and blue overtones. They are fairly well matched in size. They do vary in shape and minor blemishes can be seen to the surface. The clasp is in good working order. Light scratches can be seen to the blue enamel. Minor nibbles are present to the white enamel border. Re-threading is recommended. Light scratches and scuffs can be seen, in keeping with age.
