Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Emerald necklace and pair of pendent earclips are by House of Taylor Jewelry, the Elizabeth Collection. Earclips indistinctly signed Elizabeth for House of Taylor, necklace unsigned. Karat white and yellow gold mounts, with signs of normal wear, overall in very good condition.
