Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cultured pearls are round to naked eyes, of dark gray colour, very good lustre, with slight surface blemishes which only visible in close close and careful check. Diamonds on the ball clasps are of opaque, black colour. The square-cut diamonds set on earclips are probably of K colour, VS clarity.
Condition: Classic pearl strand with matching earclips, both in mint condition.
