Condition
In good condition with some light scratching and minor surface wear to the mounting, not apparent when worn. The baroque cultured pearl drops have a silvery white body color with moderate green, blue and rose overtones, fair to good luster, and minor to moderate blemishing mainly due to uneven skins. The round cultured pearls have a slightly more creamy white body color than the baroque pearls, and display moderate green and rose overtones. They have good luster and minor blemishing such as pitting and peeling skins. The diamonds are approximately F-G color, predominantly VVS-VS clarity. Length approximately 1 3/4 inches, pendants detachable. The measurements for the pearl drops include only the width as the lengths are not measurable.
