Pair of natural pearl and diamond pendant-earrings

Natural pearl drops measuring approximately 18.00 by 11.65 mm. and 16.80 by 11.50 mm., capped by round diamonds weighing approximately 1.40 carats, mounted in platinum, one diamond missing.

Evidence of repair to both caps and one small diamond missing; in otherwise good condition. The slightly silvery white pearls with pink and green overtones are nicely matched for body color with one pearl having slightly stronger rose overtones. The same pearl bears a small pit near the bottom, but otherwise only minutely blemished with a very nice skin. The other pearl bears minute pitting and noduling and with very light wrinkling to the skin. Both pearls present very good luster. The diamonds are approximately G-H-I color, VS-SI clarity. Please refer to SSEF report # 53918 stating both pearls to be natural.
