Condition Report
Overall condition fair. Some surface wear in keeping with general wear. Cultured pearls creamy colour, with rose and greenish overtones. Fairly good skins with some surface blemishes and pits. Pearls differ slightly in hue and lustre. We would recommend re-stringing of the pearl strand. Diamonds drawing varying hues of brown and grey. Profuse inclusions visible to the unaided eye. Due to the settings and nature of the rose-cut it is not possible to calculate a total diamond weight. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Diamonds in fair condition with some significant abrasion and nibbles. With safety chain. Clasp in good working order. Unhallmarked. Without the aid of laboratory equipment, it has not been possible to determine if these cultured pearls are from a fresh or saltwater source.
