Of fringe design, set with seventy-three round to off-round cultured pearls measuring approximately 11.95 x 11.40 to 9.80 x 8.40mm, decorated by circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 17.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, length approximately 390mm.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the bigger cultured pearls are of cream body colour, with slight to very good rosè overtone, and the smaller cultured pearls are off-white to cream body colour, with silver or rosè overtone; some almost blemish-free, majority with minor natural surface blemishes and some with hairline scratches, but all are not noticeable to the naked eye. The diamonds are about G to H colour, SI to I clarity. Condition: Karat yellow gold mount, shows signs of minor wear, otherwise in very good overall condition.
