Purchasing information-
Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear. The pin is a later addition. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Light nicks and chips can be seen to some. Fine feathers can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The pearls are well matched for colour and lustre. Some skins are chipped and peeling. Without the aid of laboratory equipment, it has not been possible to determine if these cultured pearls are from a fresh or saltwater source.
