Condition Report
Overall condition good. Some surface wear and discolouration in keeping with age. Replacement pin, slightly misshapen. Safety chain deficient. Glue residue to the replacement cultured pearl. Cultured pearl creamy colour, with rose and greenish overtones. Fairly good skin with some surface blemishes. Fairly good lustre. Without the aid of laboratory equipment, it has not been possible to determine if this cultured pearl is from a fresh or saltwater source. Diamonds bright and fairly well matched. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Minor to scattered inclusions visible under magnification. Diamonds in fair condition, some with minor nicks, some with nicks and nibbles, one with a large chip to the crown facets.
