CULTURED PEARL AND DIAMOND NECKLACE

Composed of seventeen white cultured pearls measuring approximately 13.00 to 15.80mm, alternated by floral spacers each set with four marquise-shaped diamonds and a brilliant-cut diamond, the diamonds together weighing approximately 24.00 carats, mounted in platinum, length approximately 380mm.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cultured pearls are of slightly button shape and face up round to naked eyes, white colour with rosé overtone, medium to good lustre. Three to four pearls have minor surface blemishes, while most of the others are clean to naked eyes. Diamonds are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Elegant pearl necklace, in very good condition.
