Both pearls are more richly colored than indicated by the catalogue illustration. The ivory-colored pearl bears soft pink and green overtones, good luster with light scratching. The silvery medium gray pearl bears soft pink and green overtones, waxy luster and light scratching. The diamonds are approximately H-I color, VS-SI clarity. Please note the pearls have not been tested for natural origin. Very nice movement when worn.
