SEED PEARL AND DIAMOND NECKLACE, MIKIMOTO

Composed of multiple strands of seed pearls to a clasp set with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, length approximately 710mm, signed.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the seed pearls are off-round to semi-baroque shapes, of cream white colour, good lustre. Diamonds on the clasp weighing approximately 0.20 carat are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Signed "M" to the clasp. Condition: This necklace is offered without reserve. Extremely small seed pearls, very fine workmanship, karat gold mount shows slight discolouration to the metal and signs of normal wear, otherwise in good condition.
