Upon loupe check and illumination, one peapod has surface reaching fissures, mostly close to the side, but not seen to naked eyes. The tops are of strong emerald green colour with good translucency. Diamonds together weighing approximately 2.00 carats, are about G to H colours, VS2 to SI1 clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, ear-pendants are detachable, overall in very good condition.
