Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear and age. Sizing marks to the band. Hallmarks are rubbed.  The split pearls are discoloured slightly due to age, showing silvery and creamy tones, with fairly good lustre some showing pink and green overtones. Some skins show peeling and abrasion. Without the aid of laboratory equipment, it has not been possible to determine if these cultured pearls are from a fresh or saltwater source. Ring size U.
