Overall condition good. Surface scratches and minor discolouration in keeping with general wear and age. Evidence of soft solder repair. Brooch fittings likely replacement. Cultured pearls well matched. Cultured pearls white to slightly-creamy white, with pink and purple overtones and good to fair lustre. Cultured pearls in good condition with some slight scratches visible with magnification. Diamonds vary in shape, size colour and clarity. Diamonds bright and lively. Light and dark coloured inclusions can be seen with magnification to most diamonds, some can be seen with the naked eye. Diamonds in mostly good condition with minor abrasions, some in fair condition with small chips and nibbles. Individual size and setting of diamonds prevents accurate and full colour and clarity assessment. Without the aid of laboratory equipment, it has not been possible to determine if these cultured pearls are from a fresh or saltwater source.
