Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear and age. The cultured pearls are a well matched silvery grey colour, with limited rose and greenish overtones, possible replacements. Fairly good skins with some minor surface blemishes. Fairly good lustre. These pearls are loose in the settings. Without the aid of laboratory equipment, it has not been possible to determine if this cultured pearl is from a fresh or saltwater source. The diamonds are fairly bright and well matched. Light nicks and chips can be seen to some. Fine feathers and fractures can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. Ring size K.
