Please note that the pearls are untested for natural/cultured origin and we are unable to confirm their origin/type. The pearls have variable creamy-white and yellowish-white hues, come with subtle greenish/pinkish orient/overtone. The majority of the pearls are off-round, some of baroque shapes, and most have blemishes such as surface pitting, ridges, scuffs/scratches, ripples and creases to the nacre. Some of the pearls have fractures, cracks and dark inclusions to the nacre and some of the pearls are discoloured, with considerable wear and peeling to the surface. Stringing is not knotted between pearls and the security of the stringing is not guaranteed. Diamonds to the clasp are lively but with variable clarity, some stones with chips/surface-reaching fractures, estimated SI2 to P2 clarity and J to L colour, assessed mounted. The clasp has considerable wear, with losses to some of the setting tips, and a messy solder join with porosity to the back. The clasp is currently functioning and metal standard is untested. Gross weight approximately 51gm.

Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion.
