Condition

Good condition. Some of the pearls are slightly off-round. The light to dark silvery grey and medium silvery pistachio-colored pearls present varying degrees of pink, green and blue overtones, good luster, and minor to moderate blemishing. Please note that the pearls have not been tested for natural color. The diamonds are approximately I-J color, VS-SI clarity.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
