Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the GIA report, the pearl is a natural saltwater pearl, and with no indications of treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the pearl is semi-baroque drop shape, of white body colour, with very slight rosè overtone, nice orient and with very good lustre. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are moderate surface blemishes but not noticeable to the naked eye when worn. The diamonds are about G to H colour, mainly VS to SI clarity (with a few I1 clarity). Pearl pendant is detachable. Pin signed Tiffany & Co..
Condition: Vintage platinum-topped gold mount, shows signs of normal wear commensurate with the age, overall in very good condition.
