Condition

Good condition with minimal wear to the mountings. Light chipping to the enamel on one of the tops, but not immediately apparent. The slightly silvery white pearls are well-matched, present a waxy luster and bear typical surface irregularities. The 24 round diamonds are approximately G-H color, VVS-VS clarity. Some yellow gold is showing through the white plating on the mountings of the tops, but this is not readily apparent.
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.
