Purchasing information
  • Overall condition fair to good. Some surface scratches/ wear, discolouration and minor dents in keeping with general age and wear.
  • Piece has been altered/adapted from a larger item of jewellery.
  • Cut and setting of rose-cut diamonds prevents total carat weight estimation.
  • Diamonds fairly bright, some chipped.

  • Individual size and setting of diamonds prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment.

  • Pearls untested for origin.
  • Pearls are a creamy colour, with slight rose and greenish overtones, fair to good luster.
  • Fairly good skins with some surface blemishes, to include pits.
  • Moderate nacre damage.
  • The two drop pearls have areas of discolouration and some cracks running through the nacre. Glue residue to the top and bottom connections.
  • Cultured pearls fairly well matched, differ slightly in shape and size. Some are slightly off-round.
  • Condition reports are offered as a guide only and we highly recommend inspecting any lot to satisfy yourself as to its condition.
