Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cultured pearls on the necklace are round and of white body colour (two are slightly off-white), good to very good lustre and majority with slight to strong rosè overtone. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are minor surface blemishes but does not affect the beauty of the pearls. The cultured pearls on the earrings are slightly button-shaped and of white body colour, with very good lustre and medium rosè overtone. There are very minor surface blemishes upon close-up inspection and not noticeable when worn. All the diamonds are about H to J colour, the baguette diamonds are VS clarity and the circular-cut diamonds are SI to I clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, overall in very good condition.
