Description

The stylized foliate tops set with baguette and round diamonds, supporting double fringes of round diamonds anchored by 2 natural pearl drops measuring approximately 13.2 and 11.8 mm., capped by single-cut diamonds,  the total diamond weight approximately 9.25 carats, mounted in white gold. 

Condition

Good condition. The seam on the caps to the pearls are visible, but only from behind. Please see the accompanying report no. 1102306444 stating that the pearls are natural saltwater pearls. The pearl measuring approximately 13.27 at its greatest thickness (length obscured by mounting but presumed to be approximately 20.5 mm) has a light ivory body color, good luster, and evidence of slight cracking underneath the surface; otherwise, very minimal blemishing. The other pearl measuring 11.88 at its greatest width (and presumed to be approximately 23 mm in length) is well-matched in terms of color and luster, and with minute bubble-like blemishes under the surface, but otherwise minimal blemishing. The diamonds are approximately H-I color, SI clarity.
