Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report, the pearl drop is natural saltwater pearl, with no indication of treatment. Also accompanied with two other gem reports stating that the pearl is natural saltwater pearl and natural colour. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the natural pearl is of drop shape, of even meduim light grey colour, very good lustre with only minute surface blemishes which are only observed upon very close and careful inspection, rare quality for natural pearl of this size. Other seed pearls on the necklace are also natural, round to off-round shape, of medium to dark grey and brown-pink colours, some with strong rosè overtone, good to very good lustre, clean to naked eyes. Diamond beads are light yellow to brownish hues, VS2 to SI clarity. The small old-cut diamonds on the clasp are about H to I colours, VS2 to SI1 clarity.
Condition: Platinum chain, in very good condition.
