Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds are probably of F colour, VS clarity.
Condition: Most onyx sections are in very good condition, except there is a shallow chip on the detachable onyx pendant, which is hidden in the pendant loop and not noticeable unless close and careful check. Repair marks and slight tarnishing to the bracelet mount, which is not noticeable to the obverse and when worn. Generally, minor signs of wear, otherwise in good condition.
