Purchasing information-
Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches, scuffs and discolouration in keeping with general wear and age, with minor bruises to the edge. The diamond is bright and lively. Small light and dark inclusions can be seen with the naked eye. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The split pearls are fairly well matched with a white body colour and some pink overtones, showing a fair to good lustre. Some show slight peeling and abrasion. Split pearls untested for natural origin. The enamel is in good condition with slight scuffs.
