Comprising: a pair of pendent earrings, each composed of a white cultured pearl measuring approximately 10.30mm, suspending a freshwater pearl, inset with collet-set brilliant-cut faint pink diamonds, spaced by a brilliant-cut diamond, completed by a hook surmount set with faint pink diamonds, the diamonds and faint pink diamonds altogether weighing approximately 1.35 carats; the second pair, each composed of a white cultured pearl measuring approximately 13.20 x 16.00mm, encircled by faint pink diamonds, to the similarly set surmount; mounted in 18 karat pink gold; the brooch of cactus design, composed by white cultured pearls measuring approximately 11.30 x 12.30 mm, interspersed with brilliant-cut diamonds, completed by a carved coral base, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, all the cultured pearls on brooch and the earrings are semi-baroque, with minor surface blemishes which are only seen upon close look and not noticeable when worn. Almost all cultured pearls are saltwater pearls, white colour with slight rosé overtone. The two slightly button-shaped pearl drops set on one pair of the earrings are freshwater cultured pearls, of light purplish pink colour. Near-colourless diamonds are probably of H to I colours, SI clarity. Pink diamonds are generally of very light to light pink colour, SI clarity. Condition: Adorable designs, overall in very good condition.
