Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, both conch pearls are of ovoid shape, with porcelain surface lustre. The larger conch pearl is of medium light yellow-orange colour, with flame pattern all over the pearl upon loupe check. The other smaller conch pearl is of intense pink colour, with noticeable flame pattern to naked eyes. Colourless diamonds in their surrounds are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Coloured diamonds are about light to vivid yellow colour, VS clarity. Seed pearls are white colour, round to naked eyes, good to very good lustre.
Condition: Both ring mounts are detachable, with extra obi-clasp fitting. The two conch pearl "flowerhead" can be worn as obi-clasps. Platinum mounts, in very good condition.
