Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the amethysts are of saturated strong purple colour, very clean to naked eyes, with nice brilliance. Upon loupe check, the amethysts are quite clean, with only minor surface abrasions on facet junctions. Sapphires are of medium blue hue, eye clean. Diamonds are about I to J colours, VS clarity. One tapered diamond has a chip on pavilion corner, not seen to the front and observed only under careful loupe check. Seed pearls on the chain are off-round to ovoid shape, white colour with good lustre.
Condition: Karat pink gold mount, the pendant is in very good condition.
