Condition Report
Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and wear in keeping with general age and wear. One rose-cut diamond deficient. Discolouration to surmounts. Rose-cut diamonds individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. Principal diamonds assessed within the limits of the mount, colour grade potentially higher. Glue residue visible on pearls and rose-cut diamonds. Pearls fairly well matched considering the size and nature of them. Slightly different in shape. One pearls body colour a creamy-white. The other a white-silvery colour. Slight rose overtones. Blemishes present. One pearl appears to have been plugged on the back from a previous drill hole, measuring approximately 1mm.
