Suspending a drop-shaped natural pearl measuring approximately 12.70 - 13.40 x 16.40mm, to the diamond-set cap and circular-cut diamond neckchain together weighing approximately 6.00 carats, mounted in platinum-topped gold, circa 1920, length approximately 350mm.

Please note that the mounting should be platinum-topped gold instead of 18 karat yellow and white gold as stated in the catalogue.Colour and Clarity: According to the SSEF report, the drop-shaped pearl is saltwater natural pearl, with no indications of artificial colour modification. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the pearl is of light grey body colour with a small patch of black at the tip, good lustre, and with moderate surface blemishes but not noticeable to the naked eye when worn. The old European-cut diamonds are mainly I to J colour (with some K colour), the three bigger diamonds are VS to SI clarity, and the smaller collet-set diamonds are SI to I clarity. Condition: Vintage platinum-topped gold mount, show signs of minor wear commensurate with the age, otherwise in very good overall condition.
