Condition Report
Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear and age. Cut and setting of rose-cut diamonds prevents total carat weight estimation. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Small light inclusions can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The split pearls are well matched with a creamy-white body colour and fair lustre.
