Mounted in white and pink gold as tested. Natural drilled pearls of white to light cream bodycolour, good to very good lustre, with minor surface blemishes and a few pearls with rosè overtone; one pearl with surface reaching fissures and one with slight flaking on the surface, but all are not noticeable to the naked eye.
