More Information

Condition report is done as if you are looking at the necklace being worn. The right hand cabochon droplet is missing one small diamond just beneath the pearl adjacent to the mount. All the other stones are good as is the gold throughout. The original case has some spot stains inside and a very small area above the name that is shot. The exterior is good.
