CULTURED PEARL AND DIAMOND CHOKER NECKLACE

The articulated necklace composed of thirty-eight cultured pearls measuring approximately 9.00 mm, spaced by scallop-shaped motifs set with brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 6.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 360 mm, pendant fitting.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cultured pearls are round to naked eyes, of creamy white body colour, with slight to medium rosé overtones, good to high lustre. There are natural blemishes visible under close inspection. The glue is visible to the underside of the cultured pearl under close and careful inspection, but not seen to the obverse when worn. The diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Minor scratches due to normal wear, otherwise in good to very good condition.
